  • Support each other toward healthy resolution of the grief.

Information About
(Reprinted from HEARTBEAT brochure.)

"We invite and encourage you to attend HEARTBEAT support group meetings. We cannot take away your pain, but we can share it in an atmosphere of love, acceptance and reinforcement, and direct you toward healing through this very complicated grieving process. It helps to talk.It heals to share.

"HEARTBEAT does not replace therapy. The healing achieved within these groups is the result of understanding, encouragement and caring among the participants. We respect the need for privacy and confidentiality. What is shared there.stays there.

"HEARTBEAT is not affiliated with any religious creed or denomination. We do, however, strongly encourage participants to renew and rely upon their own spiritual resources."
