Adult Bereavement Support Groups

After a loved one dies, it takes time to put the pieces back together. We can help. Grief is a normal process and support groups provide the opportunity to share your experiences with others who are also grieving the loss of someone special.

Many people who suffer a loss experience one or more of the following:

• Loss of appetite or overeating
• Feelings of guilt or anger
• A sense of restlessness
• Inability to concentrate
• Diffi culty sleeping
• Crying at unexpected times
• A sense of aimlessness, forgetfulness, inability to fi nish projects

Groups will meet on Thursdays at Bloomington Hospital

Winter: Jan. 17 - Feb. 21
Spring: April 10 - May 22
Fall: Sept. 18 - Oct. 23

All sessions are held from 4:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

There is no fee for the group. Facilitation is provided by trained Hospice staff. Refreshments will be provided. For more information about the group or to register, Call 353.9818
