Grief research suggests that suffering personal losses can be particularly challenging when experienced in times of broader social stress. Loss of a loved one to COVID-19 can bring about complicated grief—a type of bereavement that is unusually difficult and long-lasting. From the sudden way the world changed, to the unanticipated decline in health of our loved ones, to the inability to hold memorials to honor them in their death all contribute to this unimaginable grief.
Join our experienced grief support group facilitators for a time of sharing, healing, and comfort each week as we continue to grieve together.

Join HopeHealth’s equine therapy group, where you’ll be given the opportunity to interact with and observe trained therapy horses from the ground. Horses are highly sensitive to human emotions. They mirror our feelings and provide us with feedback and insight about ourselves when we work with them. Interactions with these gentle and intuitive creatures can rebuild trust and help us process difficult emotions in a non-verbal way. This group meets outdoors where social distancing measures can be maintained.

When: Second Friday of the month, 1:30 - 2:45 p.m.
