Featured Image Grief Support TelehealthChesapeake Life Center will continue many of its virtual grief support programs and workshops via a telehealth platform, Zoom for Healthcare, through March.

New to the online program is the Caregivers Monthly Support Group, a group designed for those actively caring for a loved one with a chronic illness. This group will provide attendees with an opportunity to connect with other caregivers, learn about resources, coping strategies and more, in a safe, therapeutic space. It will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the first Wednesday of the month, Jan. 6, Feb. 3 and March 3.

The following groups also will be meeting virtually:

  • SoulCollage Grief Support Group has participants create a series of collages to commemorate lost loved ones and to visually journal the grief process. The group will meet on the first Monday of the month, from 6 to 8 p.m. 4, Feb. 1 and March 1.
  • Loss of Life Partner/Spouse Monthly Morning Group is for individuals grieving the death of a spouse or life partner. It will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the third Wednesday of the month, Jan. 20, Feb. 17 and March 17.
  • Nurturing the Grieving Heart through Yoga is a six-week virtual workshop that will be held from 6 to 7:15 p.m. Thursdays, Jan. 21 to Feb. 25. These adult yoga classes are facilitated by Cathy Rees, a registered nurse and certified yoga instructor with the Yoga Center of Columbia. This gentle workshop can be done standing or from a chair and is perfect for both grievers and caregivers. The total cost for the six weeks is $40.
  • Parent/Parental-Figure Loss Monthly Support Group is a monthly drop-in group that is open to adults grieving the death of a parent or parental figure. It will meet from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of the month, Jan. 27, Feb. 24 and March 24.
