The Bereavement group is a support group designed for elders who have experienced the loss of a loved one, most often a spouse. Participants provide encouragement and support to one another regarding a variety of bereavement issues including managing emotions such as loneliness and grief, dealing with potential changes in housing, and financial management. The group runs for 8 weeks every spring at the South Hadley Council on Aging and is facilitated by Rayna McGrath, MSW, LCSW.
