VITAS Bereavement Support Groups

(April to June, 2008)

 

Healing after a loss is easier when you are part of a support group and when you learn what to expect while you are grieving. We invite anyone who is grieving the loss of an important person in his or her life to come to one or more free bereavement support groups offered by VITAS Innovative Hospice Care® of San Diego. Learn about the symptoms of grief and how “normal” your grief truly is. Unless otherwise noted, these 6-week support groups are open to new members during the first and second meetings only. You are invited to attend as many additional 6-week groups as you choose.

 

Free parking is available at all support group locations.

 

Please call LaVon Switzer, VITAS Bereavement Services Manager, 858.499.8901 or 800.966.8705 to register.

You’re invited…Healing Grief, One Step at a Time


VITAS Innovative Hospice Care® of San Diego is offering a free walking group which meets once a week for easy walks, rotating at four different locations. When we are healing from the pain of grief, exercise can ease this pain, as can spending time with others who are experiencing the same feelings of loss.


Please join us for a walk and a time of finding comfort with each other. No walk on January 1, February 19, April 22, May 27, July 1, September 2 or December 23.
