Blue Skies Bereavement Group - Overcoming Loneliness After Loss

Blue Skies Hospice hosts a bereavement support group the last Saturday of every month at the hospice house located at 2714 169th St. in Hammond, Indiana. For further information please call Arlene Bakota the Bereavement Coordinator at (219) 680-7977.

The grieving process is painful. Bereavement groups can often be a source of strength, comfort, and growth throughout the work of mourning. Grief counselors insist on the importance of reaching out to friends, commemorating the loss, and turning to God when searching for ways to move forward following the death of a loved one. They also, however, implore mourning people to get support from other mourners, and often that support can come from a bereavement group.

The Blues Skies Hospice bereavement support group is open to anyone looking for compassion, support, and friendship in their time of sadness.
