Hospice of Southern Maine – Grief & Bereavement Support (Scarborough, ME)
About This Group
Hospice of Southern Maine offers grief and bereavement support groups for adults coping with the loss of a loved one. These professionally facilitated groups provide a structured, compassionate environment where participants can share their grief experiences, learn about the grieving process, and develop healthy coping strategies alongside others who understand the pain of loss.
What to Expect
Groups typically run in six-week sessions, with each meeting building on the previous week’s themes. Topics include understanding grief reactions, managing difficult emotions, navigating changes in identity and relationships, honoring memories, and finding a path forward. Facilitators are trained bereavement counselors who guide discussions with sensitivity and expertise. Both sharing and listening are encouraged, and participants are never pressured to speak.
