This is a warm and welcoming support group for those who have lost a partner or spouse to a cancer diagnosis. This group is led by a masters level clinician and has more of a traditional structure designed to support those navigating the challenging emotions and life complexities after such a loss. This group is focused on supportive check-ins and weekly topics of discussion as identified by members, as well as various tools, readings and education to support each member's individual growth.

If your spouse or partner has passed away within the last 6 months, we recommend beginning with the Recently Bereaved Support Group, before joining this one. That is a much more loosely structured support group run by a clinician, focusing more on open sharing with others who are also navigating the recent loss of a loved one.

This is a support group for those who have recently lost a loved one to cancer. The recent loss of a family member or friend and the sudden feelings that come along can be devastating. This group connects you with others who can share in those recent transitions and hardships. It's led by a mental health clinician who can also connect you with various resources.

While this group is for those who have experienced loss within 6 months to a year, Gilda's Club also offers long term bereavement support. Once you are ready to transition to one of those groups, a Gilda's Club staff member will be happy to guide you.
