Internet Support Groups
We hope you seriously consider attending one of our educational support group series in the coming months. Doing so provides the opportunity to learn ways others are coping with similar losses and share your experience. However, we realize individual comfort and scheduling do not always allow for such involvement. Please consider the option of joining an on-line support group to share your thoughts and feelings with others as an alternative option.
Founded by widows and widowers, the website provides on-line support group resources for adults grieving a variety of losses.
