Adult Child Loss Group
September 9
The death of any child, regardless of cause or age, is overwhelming to parents, who can never be fully prepared for their child to die before them. Parental grief is intense, long-lasting, and complex.
The grief and the healing process contain similar elements for all bereaved parents, but for those whose adult child has died, there are additional factors that may affect their grief. We offer an eight-week, closed group facilitated by a social worker and a volunteer to address some of the unique issues facing those who have experienced the death of an adult child, whether to a long-term illness or due to a sudden, traumatic cause of death.
