Young Adults Coping with Loss

A six-week online grief support group for young adults between the ages of 18-35 who are coping with the death of a friend or family member.

Loss at a time in life when someone is defining who they are personally and professionally can be unsettling and isolating.

This group will provide a safe space for young adults to have open conversation about the reality and impact of losing someone close to you.

The Holding Space

A eight-week online group for parents grieving the loss of an adult child. 

Starting Thursdays, March 2 at 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Daughters Without Mothers

A six-week online group for adult women grieving the loss of their mother.

How do we, as daughters, find our way after our moms have died? What happens to the empty chairs? This South NJ support group offers grief education, and most importantly, a place to speak your mom’s name, tell her story, and honor her memory. This group is no charge and open to the community. Join us at our kitchen table — you aren’t alone.

Starting Tuesday, March 7 at 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Starting Tuesday, April 18 at 6:00 p.m. to 7: 30 p.m.

Grieving the Love of Your Life

A six-week  in person or online group for those grieving the loss of a spouse/partner.

Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow has said, “There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.” While no two losses are alike, being with people going through a similar experience can decrease isolation while providing a space to explore your unique journey and speak about your loss. This group provides a safe place as you learn to live and cope, day by day, while dealing with a broken heart after losing the person closest to you.
