Park Synagogue is sponsoring a bereavement support group for individuals who have lost a loved one, whether a spouse, parent, adult child, sibling, or friend. Dr. Tanya Hartman, licensed clinical psychologist, will be the group facilitator. The group is free and open to all Park members, and, if there is space, to others from the community. Group size is limited, so register soon.

Please note that it is suggested that one wait at least 3 months after the death of a loved one to join a bereavement support group. It is also important to be able to attend all sessions to have the group be effective.

Reasons to join Park’s Bereavement Support Group:

• It reminds you that you are not alone, that grief is a part of life and an inevitable part of loving others.
• It helps you recognize signs of grieving and what are some natural responses to loss.
• The group gives actionable steps for coping with your loss.
• Group members can receive support, comfort, friendship, and hope from each other.

Pre-registration is required by contacting Ellen Petler at epetler@parksyn.org or at 216-371-2244 ext. 122.
