Press Release

Grief Support Group Offered

Grief is a journey that does not have to be traveled alone. Often talking or being with someone else who has experienced a loss can be helpful. Burgess Home Health and Hospice will be offering a 5-week grief support group for adults on Tuesdays, beginning October 18 and continuing through November 15. The group will meet in the conference rooms at Burgess Health Center in Onawa, Iowa from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

This support group is for any adult who has experienced a loss through death. It is designed to offer members a safe and understanding atmosphere where support can be drawn and feelings, fears, and frustrations can be shared with others traveling the same “road of grief.”

Prior to starting the grief group it is recommended that it has been at least two months since the loss of your loved one. However, exceptions can be made and consideration will be given for individual situations.

There is no charge to participate. Participants must pre-register by Friday, October 14, as a minimum of four members is required for the group to take place. You may register by contacting Annette Linden or Katie Weston at Burgess Hospice 712-423-9183. Please contact the office with any questions you may have about the group. We look forward to hearing from you.
