Grief Support Groups & Remembrance Services
Tabitha is proud to offer Grief Support Groups throughout the year as a service to family members and friends experiencing the recent death of a loved one. The meetings promote healthy conversation between a Tabitha team member specifically trained in grief support and a small group of individuals going through a common experience.
The purpose of Tabitha’s grief support groups is to equip participants with the tools and resources needed to reinvest in life.

Grief Note
Grieving—under normal circumstances—is difficult. However, when you are facing the holidays, it can be even harder.
You may be wondering how you will make it through these next couple of months. You may miss your loved one more than usual because you’re grieving the holiday traditions you’d usually do together.
The festive and joyful mood of this time of year can make you feel disconnected or distraught.
Some people look for signs of hope during the dark and cold months of winter. Cardinals, special songs or carols, family recipes, decorations, and keeping up traditions can foster good memories as you continue to grieve your loss.
You can still Celebrate your loved one in their absence, facing the good and grieving parts of the holidays together.
Our upcoming groups have been curated to provide you with meaningful support:
“Remembering Angels” Service
Join us this December for our annual remembrance service in memory of the Clients who Tabitha Hospice has served. We’ll have a short service including the angel lighting ceremony, songs, poems and prayers. Attendees will receive an angel ornament to take home. Please RSVP.
“Facing the Holidays” Support Groups
In the Aurora, Grand Island and Seward areas, please join us for our holiday support groups. November’s theme is “Being Grateful Grievers” and December’s is “Letting Joy Back In.” View dates and times here.
As always, if you are in need of individual support, please contact us anytime.
Grief Book and Podcast Suggestions
Sometimes finding the right book, website or podcast can help you process thoughts, feelings and provide helpful insight or information. Check out suggestions by types of loss.
