Support Group for Daughters Grieving Loss of Mothers Starting in April

The Samaritan Center for Grief Support providing six-week online support group

The connection between a mother and her daughter is a complex and special relationship. When a mother passes away, adult daughters may struggle with feelings of grief, guilt and loneliness at the loss of someone who is both a mentor and a friend.

The Samaritan Center for Grief Support is providing a six-week online Daughters Without Mothers support group for adult women grieving the loss of their mother. This online workshop is complimentary and facilitated by trained bereavement professionals who will offer grief education and tips for treating yourself with compassion.

The six-week support group will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. on the following dates:
