Free grief support group sessions offered at Winneshiek Medical Center

Winneshiek Medical Center Hospice is offering a free six-week grief support group that will meet from 5:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. in the Home Health and Hospice meeting room at WMC for six consecutive Wednesdays starting September 13th. The sessions are open to the public with prior registration.
 
"When people experience grief, they often feel a lot of support from friends and family at first, but as others go on with their lives, that support can seem harder to find," said Winneshiek Medical Center Social Worker Melissa Whelan,  the coordinator of the grief support program. "One purpose of the Grief Support Group is to help provide ongoing support from others who truly understand how difficult grief can be, as well as education on navigating through the difficult grief process," said Whelan.
 
Registration is required to participate in the grief support group.  Call 563-387-3024 between 8 am and 4 pm for more information or to register.  Online registration is also available by visiting www.winmedical.org/grief-support-group. There is no charge for the program.
