Grief support group
Good Samaritan Hospice, a mission of Concordia Lutheran Ministries, will host a free weekly adult grief support group titled “Supporting Each Other After Loss with Memories, Feelings and Hope” this fall. The group will be held from 6-7:15 p.m. on Mondays, Sept. 15 through Oct. 6, at Concordia of Franklin Park (1600 Georgetown Dr.).
The free support group offers a safe, welcoming space for adults who have experienced the loss of someone close. Together, the group will share stories, explore the grief journey and find comfort in community. Many participants find healing through open conversation, prayer, creative activities and simply being with others who understand.
Registration is not required for this group, and participants are encouraged to join the group on any day. To sign up or for more information, call the GSH bereavement team at 1-800-720-2557.
