Grief Support Group

Every other Wednesday, 6:30-8:30 PM
Facilitated by Neil Beresin, M.Ed., Grief Counselor and Interfaith Chaplain

Some say that profound loss is not something that we ever really “get over” and that with time, perhaps our relationship with grief changes. The goal of the group is to provide a safe, sacred, and meditative space to be able to reflect on and shape our loss. The care and support that individuals offer one another in a group can be an opening towards less suffering and heartache. As a grief counselor and interfaith chaplain, Neil has worked with individuals and families in hospital and hospice settings and approaches healing through multiple lenses including the philosophy of theologian and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Buddhist nun Pema Chödrön, and the practice of mindfulness through poetry.
