Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a typical group meeting?
Each week you’ll view a 30-minute video on a grief-related topic, featuring valuable insights from counselors, pastors, and others who’ve lost a loved one. Then your group will discuss the video and how it applies to your lives. You’ll also receive a book with helpful tips and exercises for personal support throughout the week.
How do compare with other grief support options?
While other grief support sites may offer phone or video consultations with a professional, we have found a group support setting to be crucial for healing. One-on-one counsel is certainly helpful, but a more complete healing is found in the context of having people walk alongside you on the grief journey.
How much does it cost to attend?
For most groups the cost ranges from free to around $150 to cover the cost of your participant guide. Insurance not accepted. Contact us for more information.
Is our service for people with a specific type of loss?
Hope Bereavement And Widows Chat Room is for everyone who is grieving the death of a loved one—whether you’ve experienced the loss of a spouse, parent, child (infant, young child, teen, adult, unborn), friend, sibling, coworker, or other relative.
