Easton, MD — Two six-week sessions of group grief support will be offered this fall at Talbot Hospice. Beginning September 13 a group will meet every Tuesday evening from 5-7 p.m. through October 25. A second group will meet Wednesday afternoons from 1-3 p.m., September 14 – October 26.
According to bereavement coordinator Shelly Kulp, losing a loved one can open up a wide range of feelings. “Studies show that acknowledging and sharing thoughts and feelings reduces loneliness and supports the healing process,” said Kulp. “Participants realize they are not alone as they share their experiences with others in similar situations.”
Talbot Hospice support groups are held at 586 Cynwood Drive and are free of charge. Sessions are open to the public regardless of county of residence and regardless of whether or not their loved one was served by hospice.
Talbot Hospice offers a variety of support groups including an ongoing weekly caregiver’s support group on Thursdays at 1 p.m. and a pet loss bereavement group in conjunction with Talbot Humane Society thefirst Thursday of every month at 5:30 p.m. Together…Silent No More is a monthly group for those grieving the loss of a loved one due to substance abuse held the second Wednesday of the month from 6-7:30 p.m. For a complete list of programs, visit talbothospice.org/bereavement and click on the Support Groups tab.
