The Samaritan Center for Grief Support, a member of the Samaritan Family of Services, announces its December support group schedule.
“Grief is a natural, healthy and universal emotion. It helps us accept a loss and begin to heal. You don’t have to grieve alone,” says Kim Rumaker, manager of the Samaritan Center for Grief Support.
Samaritan’s grief support groups are open to anyone in the community, but registration is required at (856) 596–8550. Other Center services include grief counseling for adults and children, and PTSD services for active military and veterans.
