Grief Groups
Join us
Bloedel Reserve and Island Volunteer Caregivers are pleased to announce the 2025 dates for Grief Support Groups meeting in the tranquil setting of the Japanese Guest House.
This year we will offer four 8-week sessions. These 8-week programs meet weekly on Thursday afternoons from 1-3 PM. Between sessions, participants are encouraged to use the Strolls for Well-Being Walks. Participants will receive a Strolls guidebook and a 6-month membership to Bloedel Reserve. These groups fill fast; please email gr***@bl************.org to be added to the wait list.
2025 Grief Group Dates
Winter (January 16-March 6)
Spring (April 3-May 22)
Summer (June 12-July 31)
Fall (September 25-November 13)
Skilled facilitators will provide a safe environment for people so they can move through the difficult emotions surrounding their grief. Through a combination of sharing stories, deep listening and grief education, people will be encouraged to honor their grief and integrate their losses so that they can go on to find continued meaning in their lives.
Group size is limited to 8 participants. There is no charge to participate in the group, and all participants attend a pre-screening interview.
