Starting September 19, SAGE Eldercare will offer a free, 10-week bereavement support group for people age 60 or over who lost a spouse in the last year.

 

The support group will be led by Kathy Larkin, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and SAGE’s InfoCare Manager, and provides the opportunity to understand the grieving process, gain emotional support, and share coping strategies.  The group meets weekly and runs September 19 through November 21, 2 – 3:30 pm at SAGE, 290 Broad Street, Summit. Registration is required to attend the 10-week program. To register, or for more information, please call Larkin at: 908.598.5509.

 

“Adjusting to the loss of a spouse is an ongoing process. During the first year, the world can feel like a different place to the one who is grieving. During this time, it can be helpful to be with others who are on a similar road to share concerns, coping strategies, and fellowship as you move forward,” said Larkin.
