Madison, WI (May 1, 2006) – HospiceCare Inc. will offer Journey Through Grief, a grief support group series, in two locations: In Fitchburg at the Hyland Park Apartments, 5440 Caddis Bend, and in Sun Prairie at the Colonial Club, 301 Blankenheim Lane. Both support groups will meet on Thursday evenings for seven weeks, June 22 – August 3, 2006, 1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

For those who have experienced the death of someone important in their lives, Journey Through Grief provides an opportunity to find comfort and strength in meeting others who are grieving. The group sessions, facilitated by a professional grief counselor, offer a safe, supportive place where members of the group can express their grief, fears and worries, as well as their hopes.

There is no fee for participation in Journey Through Grief. Attendance at all seven sessions is recommended, and pre-registration is required.
