Grief Support Groups

Support groups provide a safe place to explore and express your grief in a comfortable setting and connect with others who have experienced loss.

We offer daytime and evening grief support. All our groups are led by our professional grief counselors and are free to attend unless otherwise noted. Most of our sessions are held in-person (note the description for each group). For more information, contact Pathways for Grief and Loss at 970-663-3500 or bereavement@pathways-care.org

Registration is required for all support groups. Please complete the registration form at the bottom of this page. A member of the Pathways Grief Support team will contact you to confirm your reservation.

Group Donations

Pathways is a mission driven non-profit organization offering a nationally recognized grief and loss program. We would greatly appreciate a $10 per group donation to help keep our programs available to all those who are grieving.

Special Events

Wreath Making

Saturday, December 6th
10:00 a.m. – noon
$15 per wreath

Today, most people no longer speak “the language of flowers.”  But we still recognize wreaths as a powerful symbol of our emotions. The choice of flowers shows our feelings, while the wreath shape shows that we are honoring the deceased. Some people also see the wreath as a symbol of eternal life, or the cycle of life and death, because of its circular shape.

Lights of Remembrance

Monday, December 15th
5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

This holiday season, we invite you to remember someone who has been special in your life and connect with others who are coping with loss by attending our Lights of Remembrance event. Join in the warmth of community for readings, music, reading names and a candlelight ritual.

 

Vision Mapping

Friday, January 16th
3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
$15 each

This workshop, facilitated by art therapists, will help participants who may feel lost create a vision map to help guide them forward.  This technique helps to focus on clarifying dreams, goals and hopes for the road ahead. All supplies are provided, and participants are welcome to bring additional items to add to their vision boards.
