About this Event
This is an 8-week group beginning January 26th and meeting weekly on Mondays from 1:00–2:30 PM, with the final session taking place March 16th.
The group provides a safe, compassionate space for individuals grieving the loss of a spouse or partner. Participants can share their experiences, receive emotional support, and learn coping strategies alongside others who understand the unique challenges of this type of loss.
The group focuses on:

- Building resilience and finding hope for the future
- Creating connections with others who share similar experiences
Facilitated by trained grief professionals, the group offers both discussion and practical tools for healing.
