Anyone 18 years or older who has suffered the loss of a loved one is invited to attend. The sessions, grief resources and refreshments are free. First-time participants are invited to bring a guest. No religious affiliation is required.

In addition, Edward Hospital has a Chapel, located on the ground floor of the Outpatient Lobby, for those who need a quiet place for prayer, reflection or meditation.
