Grief after losing a loved one by suicide is profoundly challenging and complex. Being with others who have experienced a similar loss can offer comfort, encouragement and practical coping techniques to navigate this challenging time.

That’s why Carolina Caring is offering an eight-week Loss by Suicide online support group beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 7, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The group will continue to meet every Wednesday in September and October, and will serve as a safe, compassionate place for healing.

This virtual group will meet via Zoom, but space is limited and registration is required. To register, go to CarolinaCaring.org/support, contact  wspurling@carolinacaring.org or call 828-466-0466, ext. 3201.
