Thursday afternoon Grief Support Group open to the public
This gathering is for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one.
A new group began meeting on August 24, for 8 weeks, from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. in the Woodridge Conference Room. Please use the Jackson Road entrance to the upper level of the Parish House building.
For many people, a grief support group makes the process a little easier by building connections with others who are also grieving. A grief support group can have a positive impact on mental health. Studies show that these groups help to reduce depressive symptoms in people who have lost a loved one.
The group is facilitated by Rev. Burton Bagby-Grose, M.Div., Bereavement and Volunteer Coordinator for the VNA of Care New England. The eight session group is open to the public.
