Thursdays, September 15 – October 27

A 7-week support group focused on bereavement following the death of a loved one, facilitated by a Victoria Hospice Bereavement Counsellor. This group includes both sharing and support, as well as grief education.

Each session will consist of:

• A check-in in which each participant will have a chance to speak to where they are at in their grief that day;
• A 10-15 minute presentation on a topic intended to support you in your grief;
• And a discussion of the topic and other predominant themes of the day.

Where: Online using Zoom platform (must have access to a device that can have a Zoom account and has a microphone and camera).

When: The sessions will be held Thursdays starting at 4:30 pm.

Who: Limited number of registered participants who are bereaved following the loss of a loved one.

Fee: Registration fee is $70. Please speak to us if the fee is a barrier to your participation. No one will be turned away for lack of funds; bursaries are available.
