Grief can feel loud and overwhelming. But hope speaks softly. Sometimes it’s found in quiet moments, a shared memory, or the simple act of being together.

At Mourning Hope, we believe in creating space for those gentle whispers to be heard.

The next session of our Adult Grief Support Group starts Monday, August 4.

This 8-week group is for adults grieving the death of someone significant. Grief is deeply personal – there is no right way or timeline. By connecting with others who have also experienced a death loss, we can find comfort, understanding and learn from each other on our journey toward healing.

Participation in the group is free, but pre-registration is required and attendees are asked to commit to all eight sessions.

Grief never truly leaves. It changes shape, softens and becomes part of the love that still lives on.

For anyone carrying the weight of missing someone…you’re not alone.
