Our team will be at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital (setup by the hematology and oncology clinic, back entrance of the hospital).

Participants will connect with others who understand their loss so they can work together to move through their grief. The death being grieved may have taken place recently or a long time ago because there is no time limit to grief. Each session is led by a trained medical social worker and is a safe place to share your experiences.
