Bereavement is one of life’s greatest stressors. To help individuals and families cope with the loss of a loved one, Mercy offers monthly grief support groups.

The grief support groups are led by Carol Blatz, LPN, Mercy Grief Facilitator. They are a place where participants can find support and resource information.

People are encouraged to attend the groups as many times as they wish. There is no charge for the sessions.
