A grief support group is a gathering where you can talk about thoughts and feelings and learn healthy ways to cope after someone has died. You’ll get emotional support from the group leader and from the other participants, who have had a similar loss. Some Agrace groups meet once a week for six weeks. Other groups meet regularly all year long, and you can attend as needed.

Agrace’s grief support groups are open to anyone in the local area who has experienced a loss due to death, even if the person who died was not an Agrace patient.

  • We suggest you wait at least two months after the death before joining a group, except the Bridges group for adults.
  • If you need help deciding which group to join, please call Agrace and talk with a grief specialist, or use this form to contact us.
  • Dates and times listed are subject to change. Please confirm them when you register.
  • Our groups are meeting virtually and in-person, they are normally held at the Agrace Grief Support Center in Fitchburg, or the Agrace offices in Janesville and Baraboo.
  • If fewer than six people register for a group, it will be canceled.
  • There is no participation fee for anyone whose family member was served by Agrace Hospice Care or another hospice in the prior 12 months. Fees for others can be lowered or waived, if needed.
