Your  loved is terminally ill or has died and you do not know how you are going to get through another day.  Please know you are not alone in your sadness and despair.  HOPE FOR BEREAVED offers listeners, suggestions for coping, validation of feelings and realistic HOPE to grieving children, adults and families in our community through thirteen (13) monthly grief support groups.  All support group facilitators are trained by HOPE staff and have “lived” the same grief experience.  You will meet people who are welcoming, understanding, empathetic and supportive.

You are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you to the support group meeting.

If you have tears of sorrow
We will share them.
If you have words of anger or guilt
We will hear them.
If you have moments of confusion
We will help you through them

We are here to LISTEN, offer suggestions for coping, and as our name implies — to offer HOPE.
We will walk on with you on your journey from grief to HOPE.
