Griffin Hospital offers support groups and a new series of bereavement sessions this winter for anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one.
The meetings provide grief education and support to ease the pain of loss as well as encourage healing and growth. The groups meet in eight-week cycles at the hospital, 130 Division Street in Derby, and require pre-registration due to limited capacity.
Starting Sunday, Jan. 11, Griffin Hospital will offer a series of bereavement sessions that focus on specific topics in living with loss. The eight sessions will be from 2 – 3:30 p.m. at the hospital and topics include Emotions; Speaking It; Rituals; ”Unusual” Feelings or Experiences; Changing Lives; Caring for Yourself; Where to Put the Love; and Moving On.
The following groups will begin on Feb. 3 and Feb. 4 and meet weekly.
The afternoon General Bereavement Group meets every Tuesday from 2:30- 4 p.m. Attendees should ask the Information Desk for the location of each meeting. This group is for anyone grieving the loss of a loved one.
