New support group for bereaved parents
A new support and healing group for bereaved parents and families will meet from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday and on the fourth Saturday of each month in Conference Room 2 of Kona Community Hospital.
Helping Parents Heal goes a step beyond other groups by allowing an open discussion of spiritual experiences and afterlife evidence. Over 75 percent of bereaved parents have after-death contacts in which they sense the presence of their departed children. This group welcomes everyone regardless of their religious or non-religious backgrounds.
This group provides support for parents and other close relatives and friends of a child who has died by any means. It also helps loved ones of a departed child of any age since, for example, an 80-year-old mother may deeply grieve when her 60-year-old daughter dieS.
A monthly guest speaker will offer expertise and tools that will be beneficial.
