Community Grief Recovery Group
UNC Hospitals' Bereavement Support Services is offering a Community Grief Recovery Group this fall. The group is free of charge and open to anyone grieving a death regardless of faith background. We will focus on sharing and moving toward healing.
The group will meet at the United Church of Chapel Hill for seven
consecutive weeks beginning on Monday, Sept. 13 from 6:30 - 8 p.m. and
running through Oct. 25.
Facilitated by Chaplains Heidi Gessner
and Darryl Owens, this group will focus on sharing and moving toward
healing in a safe and supportive setting. Some people join a support
group to help them through their initial grieving process while others
join years after their loved one’s death. This social support
facilitates healthy grieving and often reduces feelings of isolation and
loneliness.
One member shared, “The past 7 weeks were full of
insight and wonder, healing and revelation. I appreciated the
opportunity to participate in the group and know I will be learning from
this experience for weeks, months and years.”
