SUMMARY:W - Seasons of Grief: Psychoeducational Support Group

You don’t have to go through it alone. \nSeasons of Grief is a monthly group where we gather for 1.5 hours to talk\, learn\, and support one another. Together\, we’ll explore: \n\nthe stages and shapes grief can take\nthe different ways loss shows up in our lives\ncommon triggers and how to cope when they arise\n\nThis group isn’t about “fixing” grief — it’s about finding comfort\, understanding\, and connection in a safe space. Our hope is that you leave feeling seen\, supported\, and a little less alone in your journey. All are welcome\, wherever you are in your season of grief. \n  \nDate(s): Sept. 10 | Oct. 8 | Nov. 12 | Dec. 10 \nTime: 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM \nLocation: Hospice Windsor\, Administration Building \nMaximum Participants: 15 \n  \nFor more information or to RSVP\, please call (519) 974-7100.
