Ongoing Support Groups
You can stop in any week for these on-going groups. You do not need to attend each meeting. All groups are held at Horizon Grief Resource Center. Contact Kayla at (414)-586-8328 if you have any questions regarding which group you belong in or to get permission to attend the 'Round the Bend' Support Group.
Loss of a Spouse / Partner (Thursdays 12:30 - 2:00pm): Most people will begin in this group and then progress to the 'Round the Bend' Group. This group is best suited for people who are newly bereaved or are working through the middle phases of grief (not yet feel they have turned the corner with their grief). Participation in this group is not determined by how long ago your spouse or partner died, but by where you are at in the grief process.
'Round the Bend' Support Group (Thursdays 2:30 - 4:00pm): Participants will need permission to join this group. Contact Kayla at (414) - 586 - 8328 for permission. Members who have progressed beyond the 'Loss of a Spouse / Partner' Group will be moved to this group. This group is best suited for people who are 'round the bend' in their grief. Individuals in this group are having more good days than bad, are more optimistic and hopeful about their futures, and are facing the new challenges of moving on, such as dealing with adult children, loneliness, and possibly considering dating. Participation in this group is not determined by how long ago your spouse or partner died, but by where you are in your grief. This group is more social in nature.
