This in person group is for anyone 18 years of age or older grieving a loss, regardless of when the death occurred. Meetings will be held the second and fourth Thursday of every month at Hospicare, 172 E. King Road, Ithaca.
This series of workshops offers a compassionate space for individuals coping with the loss of a loved one. Each session focuses on a different aspect of the grieving process, helping participants gently explore their experiences while building resilience, connection, and meaning. Every gathering incorporates a different mindful art activity, offering participants the healing benefits of the creative process. This group is designed to support those in mourning with tenderness, community, and opportunities for gentle healing. All materials provided. Please wear clothing that you are okay creating art with (sometimes it's a messy process). Each group is limited to 12 participants and you must register separately for each one. You do not need to attend all of the groups. Open to residents of Tompkins and Cortland County.
Holiday time can be especially difficult after the death of a loved one. Learn about ways to take care of yourself and honor your feelings as we head into the holiday season.
