New bereavement support group to meet at ALMH

[April 02, 2013]  A bereavement support group will begin in April at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital.

The first meeting will be on Thursday, April 11, at 5 p.m. in ALMH's Steinfort Meeting Room. Meetings will be the second Thursday of each month at the same time and place.

Sponsored by Memorial Home Services Hospice, the meetings are geared for adults.

"Our support group will provide an opportunity for people to be able to mutually share and support each other," said Bitsy Knepler, bereavement coordinator for Memorial Home Services Hospice. "Those who have suffered a loss can discuss their feelings, gain support from others in a similar situation and know that they are not alone."

Memorial Home Services Hospice offers similar support groups in Jacksonville, Taylorville and Springfield.
