Local adults and children living in southern Wisconsin who are grieving can find hope and healing with the help of Agrace grief support specialists.
This September, Agrace will host in-person and virtual group support options for adults and children who are grieving the death of a person. These groups provide emotional and peer support in a professionally led group setting and require advance registration.
Family Grief Support Program is for families with children aged 5 to 18 who are grieving a death. It meets in person every other Tuesday, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the Agrace Grief Support Center, 2906 Marketplace Drive in Fitchburg. Pre-registration is required. For dates and to register, call (608) 327-7135.
Grief on the Move is for any adult who is looking for grief support that combines companionship and comfort with movement. The group meets at the Agrace Grief Support Center every other Tuesday. In September, walks are September 7 and 21, from noon to 1 p.m. Attendees will meet at the Center to begin their walk along the Badger State Trail, weather permitting. Pre-registration is required; call (608) 327-7118. There is no cost to attend this group.
Bridges (virtual) 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 September, meetings are September 1, 15 and 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pre-registration is required; call (608) 327-7118.
COVID-19 Loss Group (virtual) is for adults grieving a death related to COVID-19. It meets online every other Wednesday, and participants can attend as often as they feel the need for support. In September, meetings are September 8 and 22, 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.
“Bridges” and “COVID-19 Loss” grief support groups meet virtually—via online video chat using a tablet, computer or smartphone. People can join from anywhere in southern Wisconsin. Anyone who is grieving a death may join, even if the person who died was not an Agrace 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.
