Grief and Loss Services
Support groups
Grief continues well after loss occurs, and each individual experiences grief in unique ways. Often grief will come in intense waves, especially in the first year after a loss.
Many people find it helpful to talk with others going through a similar experience. We offer the following kinds of groups:
Bereavement: usually 8-weeks, advance registration required
Special Groups & Workshops: includes one-day seminars
Drop-in: come when you like, stop when you're ready
Anyone may attend a drop-in support group after a loved one's death.
These ongoing groups are held during the day and in the evening in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Prince George's County, Maryland. They are available when you need them; advance registration is not required.
