Agrace Offers ‘Young Adult,’ ‘Bridges,’ ‘COVID-19 Loss’ and ‘Journey Through Grief’ Virtual Support Groups in August

Friday, July 9, 2021

Local adults living in southern Wisconsin who are grieving can find hope and healing with the help of Agrace grief support specialists.

This August, Agrace will host “Young Adult,” “Bridges,” “COVID-19 Loss” and “Journey Through Grief” support groups for adults who are grieving the death of a person. These groups provide emotional and peer support in a professionally led virtual group setting and require advance registration.

  • Young Adult is for anyone aged 18 to 30+ years who is grieving the death of a loved one, parent, child, spouse, sibling or friend. This support group meets online every Tuesday in August, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required; call (608) 327-7118.
  • Bridges is for adults grieving the death of any loved one. It meets online every other Wednesday throughout the year, and participants can attend as often as they feel the need for support. In August, meetings are August 4 and 18, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pre-registration is required; call (608) 327-7118.
  • COVID-19 Loss Group is for adults grieving the death of any loved one due to the COVID-19 virus. It meets online every other Wednesday, and participants can attend as often as they feel the need for support. In August, meetings are August 11 and 25, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Pre-registration is required; call (608) 327-7118. There is no cost to attend this group.

These grief support groups meet virtually—via online video chat using a tablet, computer or smartphone, which means people can join from anywhere in southern Wisconsin. Anyone who is grieving a death may join, even if the person who died was not a hospice patient.

There is no fee for these programs if a participant’s family member was served by Agrace Hospice Care or another hospice in the past 12 months. Modest fees may apply for others, and fees can be lowered or waived, if needed.
