Do you need help coping with the death of a loved one? If so, help is available.
Volunteers from the Tantramar Hospice Palliative Care Organization (THPCO ) Inc. are once again offering a grief and bereavement peer support group in Sackville beginning on Thursday, April 8, at 7 p.m.
By joining this group, you will have an opportunity to share your feelings with (and support) others who have experienced personal losses and explore ways to move through your grief, in a safe and confidential environment. There is no fee for this group. Meetings will be held weekly for eight weeks. Refreshments will be shared at each meeting and resource materials (books, videos, etc.) will be available.
For information about where the meetings will be held, please contact Audrey (536-1064), Lesley (536-0824), or Lindsay (536-2324).
The grief and bereavement peer support group is open to anyone in the Tantramar area who has been touched by the death of a loved one. Talking about your grief with others is a good way to help you come to terms with your loss. Although anyone is welcome, it is advised that those who are grieving a very recent loss, that is, within the past two months, wait until the next group is offered.
In the meantime, one-on-one peer support is available, provided by THPCO volunteers. For more information, contact Audrey, Lesley, or Lindsay.
The THPCO is a local, non-profit organization that advocates for, and supports the provision of, hospice palliative care services and programs in the Tantramar region. For more information about the THPCO, please visit our website at www.thpco.ca.
