You don’t have to walk the journey of grief alone. Our Bereavement Support Group offers a safe, caring, and confidential space where you can share your story, listen, and be supported by others who truly understand loss. Each person’s journey is unique, and together we gently learn, heal, and find hope. You are warmly invited to come as you are and be surrounded by compassion and understanding.
The group is facilitated by Sandra Shemonsky, licensed psychologist and Pat Schindler, R.N. We invite you to come and be part of something meaningful.
Please email Sandra Shemonsky at shemonsky@cs.com for more information.
