ROCKLAND — Coastal Family Hospice Volunteers is forming an eight-week peer support group for anyone experiencing the loss of a loved one. The group is open to the community at large as well as to families of hospice patients. This is the first such group in 2016. Many find that gathering together in this way can be helpful and healing.

The eight-week group, facilitated by Rob Gabe and Kathy Deupree, will meet in Rockland (location to be announced) from 2-4 p.m. on Tuesdays, Feb. 23 through April 12. There is no charge for participation, but pre-registration is required.

For more information, or to register, please contact Rob, at 354-6395.

Coastal Family Hospice (coastalfamilyhospice.com) works with Kno-Wal-Lin Home Care and Hospice to provide volunteer support for its hospice patients and families in Knox and Lincoln Counties.
