Compass Regional Hospice Offers Support Group for Widows and Widowers
CHESTERTOWN — Compass Regional Hospice is offering a grief support group for men and women who have experienced the death of a spouse or partner. The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at Heron Point of Chestertown. The group will meet every Wednesday through December 11, 2019. Participants are asked to commit to attending all or most of the 8 sessions in order to benefit the most from the group.
Participation in support groups offered through Compass Regional Hospice, offer companionship and understanding from others who are experiencing the similar challenges that living with grief brings. “Together the group members share ways to cope with their changed situation, realizing that grieving and adjusting to new ways of living take time” said O’Connor.
Each group session will revolve around topics such as grief, sharing memories, and adjusting to and finding meaning in your loss, and include specialized activities, teachings, and open discussions.
For more information and to register for the upcoming adult grief support group, call Compass Regional Hospice, 443‐262‐ 4124, or email Ann O’Connor, aoconnor@compassregionalhospice.org.
