Time, a dedicated space, support and connections to others can be incredibly helpful when coping with
grief. Often family members feel the need to protect one other from their feelings. At Roger Neilson House
individuals can freely express their thoughts and feelings with others who have also experienced a life
changing loss.
-Our groups are facilitated by trained professionals
-There are separate groups offered according to the type of loss experienced (perinatal versus
older age loss, as well as sibling and grandparent groups)
-Groups meet weekly or biweekly over a series of sessions
-Our Recreational Therapists engage with siblings through various activities and discussions on
grief related themes.
