We understand that grief does not end with the funeral—it is a journey that continues long after, and no one should have to walk it alone.

There is a community grief support group being held in Montgomery for anyone who is grieving the death of a loved one—whether the loss is recent or from years past. This non-denominational group offers a safe, confidential space to connect with others who are also navigating grief.
