Grief Support Groups

Our bereavement support groups are offered at no charge and are open to all grieving adults, whether or not your significant person received care from Hospice of Southern Maine.

Our support groups offer a safe space to share feelings and experiences relating to loss and grief. Groups can accommodate up to 12 people and run for 6–8 weeks.

We do recommend that individuals wait 2–3 months after the loss of a significant person to join a group. If you would like bereavement support sooner, please contact us to schedule an individual support session or join an upcoming Grief 101 group session.

Grief 101: Education and Support for the Newly Bereaved

Wednesday
January 22, 2025
5:00 PM–7:00 PM
HSM Office, 390 US Route One, Scarborough, ME 04074
Facilitated by Kelly Blanchette & Cassidy Smith

Are you newly bereaved? Are you wondering if what you’re feeling is normal or ok? Join us for a session to learn about grief and talk with others experiencing similar situations. Our typical groups are designed for those at least 2-3 months out from their loss, so this is an opportunity to learn a little bit more about grief and connect with others in the meantime.
