Holiday Season Grief Support Groups offered by Beacon Hospice’s Harbors of Hope Bereavement Program. 

The holiday season can be extremely difficult for those who have lost loved ones.  At a time when the world around you seems full of “good cheer,” you may be feeling anything but cheerful.  If you are grieving the loss of a loved one this holiday season, please join us.  Together we will share our losses, develop coping strategies, and walk the path of healing in a supportive, confidential environment.
