Bereavement Support Groups
Grief groups are sponsored by Serenity Hospice and Home and open to anyone in the community who has suffered a loss. We ask that you call our office at 815-732-4111 and let us know you will be attending a particular group so that we are able to provide adequate supplies.
If your group meets at the Serenity Home (1658 S IL RT 2 in Oregon), please use the back parking lot and entrance.

Wolfelt which covers ten touchstones in the areas of physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual growth to help you through the grief process. Wolfelt has written many books about healing after the loss of a loved one and is considered a leading grief educator. This is a more structured approach, and the participant will know exactly when it will end.” Each participant will receive a copy of the book by Dr. Wolfelt.
