Surviving Our Ultimate Loss
Mondays, 6:00-7:30 pm
This ongoing Frederick Health Hospice-supported in-person group meets
every Monday evening and is specifically for mothers grieving children
who have died from overdose or complications from substance misuse. While
the group does have the support of a Frederick Health Hospice staff counselor,
S.O.U.L. is “moms helping moms”
www.SurvivingOurUltimateLoss.org, and is open-ended and peer led. Although S.O.U.L. is by definition a
support group, group members are clear that the focus is on “living,
getting back to life, and taking action.”
New members may join at any time
