  • 1.  Loss of Adult Child (Virtual) Group

    Posted 09-23-2021 09:51 AM

    Hello Folks,

    We've had an inquiry from a parent looking for a support group specifically for the loss of an adult child. I have referred the person to one local group, but it may not work for her schedule. I've also accessed other local resources but wanted to ask (given our virtual reality) if any of you run a group for this specific subset of bereaved parents and would be open to someone joining from a different part of the country (near Philadelphia).

    Thank you!
    Molly
