Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be difficult. Each individual grieves in his or her own way. While many people will find that they do not need or want help with their grief, some people will seek individual counseling. Others want group support. Every loss is different in some way, but grief often shares common characteristics of leaving people feeling isolated by feelings of sadness and loss. Through support groups, individuals can find validation and feel like they are not alone.

Universal Home Health & Hospice Care is sponsoring a Loss Support Group beginning Tuesday, February 26 and running each Tuesday for the following four weeks (March 2, March 9, March 16, and March 23) from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm at the Logan County District Library, 220 N. Main Street, Bellefontaine. There is no cost and anyone is welcome.

The sessions are facilitated by Karla Gingerich, LISW-S, a social worker with Universal Home Health & Hospice Care. Call 937.593.1605 to register or if you’d like more information.
