The death of a family member or friend is a powerful and emotional experience. Three elements that seem to assist in processing grief following the loss are:

• Gathering relevant information from a knowledgeable professional
• Talking to others about your loss
• Listening to others who have had similar experiences

Several types of evening grief groups are offered:

• Adults grieving the death of a family member or friend
• Adults grieving the death of a spouse or partner
• Adults grieving the death of a family member or friend to suicide
• Adults grieving the death of a family member or friend to murder
• Adult perinatal loss group (loss of a baby) held as requested.
• New group: adults grieving the death of a family member or friend by drug overdose.

Bereavement support groups are led by health care professionals holding Masters or Doctoral degrees in Social Work or Psychiatric Nursing or Licensed Professional Counseling.
