The bereavement support groups are offered to the loved ones of Torrance Memorial Hospice patients and all community members, regardless of whether the deceased received care from Torrance Memorial Hospice Agency. Support groups afford people the opportunity to meet in a caring and safe environment with other people experiencing grief and loss. Groups provide education on the grief experience following the death of a loved one. Facilitated by Torrance Memorial Hospice staff, we cover common grief reactions, coping strategies and self-care throughout the grief process. We offer the following groups:
- Loss of Spouse - Adults who have experienced the death of a spouse or partner
- Loss of Parent - Adults who have experienced the death of a parent
- Loss of Adult Child - Adults who have experienced the death of an adult child
- Grief Support Group - Adults who have experienced the death of someone close
Groups consist of eight to 10 members and run for six to eight weeks. Each group meets once a week for one and a half hours. The groups are free, and registration is required. The groups are facilitated by Hospice staff, trained volunteers and overseen by Hospice Licensed Clinical Social Worker(s).
