Join Our Bereavement Support Groups – Compassionate Support for Your Grief Journey
The bereavement support groups are offered to the loved ones of Torrance Memorial Hospice patients and all community members, regardless of whether the deceased received care from Torrance Memorial Hospice Agency. Support groups afford people the opportunity to meet in a caring and safe environment with others experiencing grief and loss. Groups provide education on the grief experience following the death of a loved one. Facilitated by Torrance Memorial Hospice staff, we cover common grief reactions, coping strategies and self-care throughout the grief process. We offer the following groups:
- Loss of spouse-partner - Adults who have experienced the death of a spouse or partner
- General grief group (supports all losses) - Adults who have experienced the death of someone close
Groups can have up to 12 members and run for six weeks. Each group meets once a week for one-and-a-half hours. The groups are free, and registration is required. The groups are facilitated by chaplains, social workers, and trained volunteers.
Facilitators: Chaplain Barbara Buck & Craig Ishii, MSW, LCSW
