Anticipatory Grief Support Group

There is no living without loss. Yet inside all loss, no matter how painful, there are seeds of hope. Grief doesn’t affect us only after a major loss or death; it’s something we experience when we know a loss is coming. In fact, this kind
of grief can take us by surprise because we feel the effects of grief even while trying to ignore what’s coming. And our grief is compounded because it’s not only death that worries us, but so do all the changes that are coming—physical and mental decline, shrinking social circles, financial concerns, and loss of dreams and plans. Whether you’re a patient, a family member, or close friend, this support group is designed to help you process what you’re feeling, find companionship and perspective from others, and find a pathway forward with dignity and even hope for a meaningful parting and transition to the next stage of your journey.
