Grief and Loss Support Group (Six Week Session)

Starting: Tuesday, July 5th through August  (11am-12:30pm)

Pemi-Baker Hospice and Home Health will be offering two new Grief and Loss Support Groups, beginning on Tuesday, July 5, 2022.  The groups will deal with issues pertaining to loss and grief as these experiences impact the lives of individuals.  The six sessions will draw on insights from the works of David Kessler, Kenneth Doka, and Alan Wolfelt, three leading voices in the area of grief studies.

There will be TWO groups:

A morning group will meet at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center from 11:00am through 12:30pm.  We can accommodate TEN IN-PERSON participants.  Group members will sit socially-distanced from one another.  Masks are NOT required, but are recommended for those who wish to be cautious.  We can also accommodate persons virtually via ZOOM.

There will also be a late afternoon group from 5:30pm through 7:00pm.  The late afternoon group is ZOOM-accessible ONLY.

There is no cost for participating in these groups, though participants MUST pre-register by contacting Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator, at gtillson@pbhha.org or by calling 603 536-2232.  Each group will go for six sessions.  The size of each group and the energy generated by discussion and sharing determines the length of each session.  Though we allow for an hour and a half, we normally go for about an hour.

The challenges of being an at-home caregiver (or even a long-distance one, as in the case of an adult child coordinating the care of a parent from some distance away) can be overwhelming, daunting, and exhausting. The experience naturally alters one’s freedom for social interaction beyond the home, and this reality was exacerbated as we lived through the height of the current pandemic. Although caregiving is an expression of love and concern, the constant vigilance required from the caregiver can be emotionally draining and the stress of it can have physical ramifications. Consequently, self-care is an important quality for caregivers to cultivate.

Connecting with other caregivers can help to lighten the emotional load imposed by this ever-increasing phenomenon that has become a part of contemporary American life as our population ages. We hope this gathering will allow for opportunities of sharing, brainstorming, problem-solving, and supportive listening.

The group will meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 10-11:30am. This group will meet in the Conference Room at PBH&HH. As they become available, relevant handouts and other materials will be offered.

You MUST pre-register in order to participate in this group.  Please do so at least 24 hours prior to the meeting date.  To register, please contact the facilitator, Guy Tillson, PBH&HH Hospice Spiritual Counselor and Bereavement Counselor, online via email at gtillson@pbhha.org or by phone at 603-536-2232.

If you would prefer to participate virtually by ZOOM, please indicate that, and we will attempt to accommodate you.  Group size is limited to five people, so registrations will be accepted on a “first come, first served” basis.
