How Can Circle of Life Help?
Our Bereavement team is comprised of trained professionals who support those struggling with grief and loss. We offer a variety of support groups, workshops and events to assist those who have experienced a loss. Please see below for a brief description of our services.
Here For You
During your loved one’s illness, you may be too busy with caregiving to feel the full weight of your loss. After he or she passes away, your grief may come suddenly or happen over time, and the depth of your feelings may surprise you. It’s important that you get care for your emotional and spiritual health; understanding grief and the feelings attached to it are important steps in healing.
Lean on us when you need help coping with your loss. Our Bereavement Team offers grief support groups, an individual consultation for bereavement care-planning, grief education and workshops, and an extensive grief resource library to help you navigate your grief and heal from the death of a loved one.
We understand that the holidays can be a hard time. Here are some resources to help you cope during the holiday season.

Support Groups for Adults
Joining a group setting can be an integral component in navigating your journey through grief. Many people find comfort in being around others experiencing similar thoughts and emotions. The support groups are facilitated by our Bereavement Counselor, to help normalize and validate what you are going through. Helping to process your thoughts and emotions related to grief will be our primary focus.
Support groups are free of charge and open to the community, regardless of whether or not you were on our services. Registration is required in advance of the group. Please call 479-872-3388 or email griefsupport@nwacircleoflife.org to register.
