MONROE — The journey through grief can be difficult. Many people find it comforting to face grief with others experiencing similar challenges. To help through the journey, SSM Health at Home is holding a “Walking Through Grief” education and support group, which provides resources and encouragement for people grieving the death of a loved one. 

The six-week group will meet Wednesdays from 6-7:30 pm, June 1 to July 6, at SSM Health at Home’s Monroe office located at 1905 5th Street in Monroe. Registration is requested by May 25.

SSM Health at Home holds attendees’ health and safety in the highest regard. Group participants will be required to wear a mask when attending the group.

The support group is free and open to adults over 18 who have experienced the death of someone special. Discussion topics include:

●  The importance of information and support as we grieve

●  Understanding grief as a process

●  Identifying and accepting normal feelings when grieving

●  Past and present losses

●  Factors that complicate grief

●  Coping with the stress of grief
