Grief Support Groups

Every 2nd Tuesday at 6:30pm-8:00pm starting February 14th-December 12th
Community Room of Diuguid Funeral Services

We've heard that "grief shared is grief halved" and that "grief is love with no place to go." We also know that grief is not limited to experiencing the loss of a loved one: we may grieve any time that life throws us a curveball and things don't work out the way we'd planned. Please join us in the Community Room of Diuguid Funeral Services on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm-8:00pm to share your grief with others, to take a moment to sit quietly with it, or to simply have a cup of coffee before going about your evening. All are welcome, and no grief is too large or too small to share.

Recurring dates: February 14, March 14, April 11, May 9, June 13, July 11, August 8, September 12, October 10, November 14, and December 12.

Drop-Boxes at our Locations for Cards, Thank You Notes

We know that things feel different right now, but we want to help our friends remember that kindness has not been cancelled. With schools being closed and our governor having issued an executive order to stay at home, it is now more important than ever to keep our hearts and minds engaged, and to show our thanks and support to members of our community who are on the front lines of this crisis. We also want to continue to show our support and friendship to residents of area senior care facilities whose lives are enriched by visits, activities, and mail, all of which have been restricted.

We are setting up a drop-box at both our Wiggington and Timberlake locations to accept cards and thank you letters. This would be a great activity for those with kids at home, or anyone wanting to spread some kindness! The drop boxes are contact-free and accessible 24 hours a day. Simply swing by while you are out on your essential errands. Please do indicate whether your items should be distributed to our fearless care providers or to our sweet senior citizens.

At Diuguid, we strive to be good stewards of our community in both good times and bad, and every act of kindness counts.
