Grief and Bereavement Support Group (Six Week Session)

Starting: Tuesday, April 26th, 2022- May 31st, 2022 (11:00am)

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health (PBH&HH), is pleased to continue to offer its in-person community-based support group for grief and bereavement. We will be starting a 6 week series with meetings being held at Plymouth Regional Senior Center, Plymouth, NH.

Because of COVID19 restrictions on social gatherings, many persons are living with unresolved and unprocessed issues of grief and loss due to abbreviated funeral or memorial services. We hope this will be a first step toward helping people come to terms with that bereavement and other issues of loss that have been neglected during the height of the pandemic.

There is no cost to attend, but please preregister by April 2oth by contacting Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator, by email (gtillson@pbhha.org) or by phone (603-536-2232). In-person participation is limited to 10 people for each group. Masks are required. There will be hand sanitizer and socially distanced seating. We will try to accommodate virtual participants via ZOOM.

Grief and Loss Support Group (Six Week Session)

Starting: Tuesday, April 26th, 2022- May 31st, 2022 (5:30pm)

Pemi-Baker Hospice & Home Health (PBH&HH), is pleased to continue to offer it’s community-based support group for grief and bereavement. We will be starting a 6 week series with meetings being held in the evenings via ZOOM only.

Because of COVID19 restrictions on social gatherings, many persons are living with unresolved and unprocessed issues of grief and loss due to abbreviated funeral or memorial services. We hope this will be a first step toward helping people come to terms with that bereavement and other issues of loss that have been neglected during the height of the pandemic.

There is no cost to attend, but please preregister by Wednesday, April 20th by contacting Guy Tillson, Bereavement Coordinator, by email (gtillson@pbhha.org) or by phone (603-536-2232). In-person participation is limited to 10 people for each group. If Plymouth schools are closed because of bad weather, BOTH groups WILL NOT meet.

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.
