Living After the Death of a Loved One

Grinnell Regional Medical Center will offer a five-week support group designed for all who have lost a loved one and face the grief after a death.

“This group will explore some of the challenges of loss and sadness and the process of grieving,” says Connee Harnden, LMSW, GRMC bereavement counselor. “This program explores techniques for coping with life after someone dear to the heart is gone. Our class is open to anyone in the community, not just hospice patients. In a confidential setting, we will share our pain and loss with our group. This will be a time to support others as you seek to find comfort for yourself.”

Gatherings will be held on Mondays, beginning April 12 to May 10, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the Mini-conference room at GRMC, 210 4th Ave., Grinnell.

This group will be facilitated by Harnden, social worker at GRMC and bereavement counselor with Grinnell Regional Hospice. There is no fee to participate, but interested persons must pre-register by calling Grinnell Regional Hospice at 641-236-2418.
