Grief Support Group

Leavitt's Mortuary and Jan Medina, SSW have joined together to provide a Complimentary adult Grief Support Group for those whom have lost loved ones.

Grieving the loss of a loved one is said to be "the hardest work you will ever do." This support group offers an open environment in which individuals can share thoughts and feelings as well as recognize they are not alone.

Join us to understand how you and your loved ones may receive the support, understanding, and healing needed to move forward in a positive direction.

The Grief Support Group meets every other Wednesday. Facilitator, Jan Medina, is a nationally certified bereavement facilitator from the American Academy of Bereavement.

We should hold our loved one in high esteem. They provided us with many happy hours. Admire them for the effort they put forth in struggling with their confusion and pain.

Provide the same compassion for others as our loved one provided to us, the same compassion and support we offer each other as we grieve and progress.
