Community members in Tillsonburg, Ontario, who are navigating the loss of a loved one can now access a new weekly support group starting this spring. The program is scheduled to meet every Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM at Bethel Pentecostal Church, beginning on March 21, 2026, and running through June 13, 2026.
The sessions utilize the GriefShare curriculum, an international program that provides a structured 13-week curriculum focused on peer support and education. This specific Saturday morning schedule was created to help residents who may find it difficult to attend traditional weekday or evening sessions.
Participants will meet in a confidential environment at the church to share their personal experiences and learn ways to process their grief. The program uses a faith-based and non-denominational approach to support those who have lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend.
Information about the new group was shared through the NOT TALK TILLSONBURG community forum. Local facilitator Susan Fraser is helping to lead the initiative, which aims to provide a reliable space for healing and connection within the local community.
