Grief Support Groups and Events

Support groups provide a safe place to explore and express your grief in a comfortable setting and connect with others who have experienced loss.

We offer daytime and evening grief support. All our groups are led by our professional grief counselors and are free to attend unless otherwise noted. Most of our sessions are held in-person (note the description for each group). For more information, contact Pathways for Grief and Loss at 970-663-3500 or bereavement@pathways-care.org.
