Support Groups
Your grief is uniquely yours; we understand that carrying your burden alone can feel heavy and overwhelming.
There is power in sharing our stories and being truly heard in our grief. We invite you to sit with us, pause, reflect, and share.
HeartLight Center offers a variety of ongoing monthly support groups, held virtually or in-person. Choose a group or groups that are relevant to your needs and attend for as long as you’d like—there is no set start or end date. You are welcome as you are.
If you are not sure which group is right for you, please email us at info@heartlightcenter.org or call 720-748-9908.
