Bereavement Support Groups in Seattle Area

Healing after a loss is often a long and difficult journey. Swedish/Edmonds offers groups and events that support people experiencing the grief that follows the death of a loved one. All parts of the program are offered as a service to the community and are free of charge.
The death of a loved one is an emotionally intense and deeply personal experience. While each person may react to the loss differently, there are many common threads that weave through the experience of grief. The emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual responses to the death may be surprising and intense. Evergreen Grief and Bereavement Services is available to provide support and education for all persons in our community who have experienced a loss through death.
Grief is not an event, it is a constant unfolding. Providence Hospice of Seattle offers a full range of compassionate response to children and adults who are grieving the loss of a significant person. We realize the importance of acknowledging the unique grieving process of every individual. Included in this acknowledgement is the understanding that grief has no timeline.
The Healing Center is a grief-support community for adults, children and families.  Our community offers a unique, long-term, multi-faceted approach to grief support, combining individual and group support with informal events and social networks.
