Grief Support

In addition to the bereavement services for the families we serve,  we have provided some helpful grief support links below: 

The Loss Group

The Loss Group is a local (East Brady area) group for those who have experienced the loss of someone close and may be looking for others who have experienced similar losses.  

The group meets the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:00 PM in the former parsonage house at 151 Fairmount Road, just north of Chicora.  The group is lead by Gayle Wright, a local counselor.  Members support each other through shared experiences with loss and effective coping.  There is no fee.

For more information, call Gayle Wright at 724-526-5736 and select option 2.
