Grief Support Group

Hillside Hospice offers a Grief Support Group four times a year. The group meets once a week for seven weeks. Information is shared to help members understand and work through the normal process of grief. The group leaders, with special training in working with grief, provide support and encouragement, helping group members express their feelings. Anyone who has lost a friend, family member, or loved one is encouraged to join the group. All who are grieving are welcome, no matter how long ago the loss occurred.
