Description/Eligibility/Service Details
Description	A six week program that provides an outlet for people who have shared a similar experience - bereavement. A support group that offers a combination of education and interaction creates an atmosphere in which grief is validated; where people can normalize their reactions, which they may have felt were abnormal. In the supportive environment of a group, people feel understood. Their grief is given legitimacy. They find out it is OK to feel the way they do. They learn that grief is a natural human reaction to loss.
