Navigating Grief After Medical Aid in Dying: Online Bereavement Group
Losing someone we love is always painful: losing someone who has used Medical Aid in Dying is a different and special journey.
NOTE: this is the first in a series of four or more sessions. The series may be repeated–see contact info below.
If you are grieving for a loved one who used medical aid in dying, or know someone who is, this private group will provide a safe, secure space to explore the special issues that medical aid in dying can bring up. In coordination with EOLCCA, this group will be facilitated by Jim Reiser, LMFT, the Bereavement Coordinator of HNC. He holds a MFT from Chapman University and BA in psychology from CSUSM, and has been doing this caring work for 11 years.
There is no charge to attend these group sessions. Anyone interested in participating must email LCalkins@endoflifechoicesca.
