All of these emotion are part of the normal greif process. Taking the time to learn about death and working through your own grief can improve your quality of live.
It is in the spirit of support, service and education that we make available to the families we serve and our community a free Grief Support Group led by a professional facilitator. This group will meet on a regular monthly basis and can be a source of great comfort to you and your family. Our doors are open for everyone in the community who wishes to participate in the meetings and they are free of charge.
