Holy Name Medical Center Hospice And Palliative Services Bereavement Support Group

August 6, 2013

Holy Name Medical Center Hospice and Palliative Services offers a bereavement program to provide compassionate support and education to those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.  Since many people experiencing loss find comfort in sharing their feelings with one another, a bereavement group, "Sharing the Journey," was developed to provide support and guidance through the grieving process.  The group is non-sectarian and will be facilitated by trained bereavement counselors.

"Sharing the Journey" will run for eight weeks and is open to those who have experienced loss in the past year.   In order to meet the needs of our participants, the group meetings are being offered on Tuesday mornings from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM beginning September 10th at Villa Marie Claire, 12 West Saddle River Road, Saddle River, NJ; OR Wednesday evenings from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM beginning on September 11th at Holy Name Medical Center, 718 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ.

The program is free, but pre-registration by September 4 is mandatory.  For information and registration, please leave a message for Claudia Coenen at (201) 833-3000, ext 7483 or Lenore Guido at (201) 833-3000 ext 7580.
