New Grief Support Group


After the funeral, when the cards and flowers have stopped coming, most people return to their normal lives. But your grief continues and you feel alone.

Monumental is responding to this need by starting a Grief Support Group to offer help and encouragement after the death of a spouse, child, family member, or friend in a small group setting. The group will led by Kay Dezern (Tidewater Pastoral Cousneling) and Rev. Megan Saucier (pastor, Monumental UMC).

The group will meet weekly on Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 8 pm at Monumental United Methodist. You can enter on Queen Street, under the blue awning. Each session is a stand-alone session, so you can begin attending at any time.

Meetings dates are:

  • September 7

  • September 14

  • September 21

  • September 28

  • October 5

  • October 12

  • October 19

  • October 26

  • November 2

  • November 16

  • November 30

  • December 7

You will find a warm, caring environment and will come to see your group as an "oasis" on your journey through grief. The Grief Support Group sessions include three key parts: video seminar, support group, and a workbook.
