Some people avoid support groups because they fear they’re not strong enough to hear about others’ grief, but a support group is one of the few places where you can find a community of people who really understand what you’re going through. Support groups can provide a safe, structured place where normal, healthy people bound by their experience of loss can come together to share stories and express and work through their feelings.
Groups are offered throughout the year. With the exception of our Drop-In Groups and Conversations on Grief Webinar, we recommend participants be at least 2-3 months out from their loss. However, please give us a call to register in advance even if your loss was very recent. Call (512) 342-4700 or (800) 445-3261 for more information or to register. Support groups are free. Donations are gratefully accepted.
Drop-In Support Groups
These groups meet virtually. Come as you are and any time you would like to be with others who are grieving. No rsvp is necessary and there is no commitment to attend a certain number of sessions. These groups are for any adult grieving the death of a loved one at any point after the loss. There is no cost to attend. **Please note, if this is your first time to attend a drop-in grief group, please call the Bereavement Dept. at least 24 hours in advance so we can provide you with information to join the group. 512-342-4700
