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, however, pre-registration is required.
