Bereaved Support Group

The Meso Foundation is offering a new topic-focused Zoom support group series for anyone who has lost someone to mesothelioma. Whether your loss is recent or not, you’re welcome to join.

The professionally moderated group will meet once a month in January, February, and March. Each meeting will focus on a different theme related to grief and remembrance.
January 21 – Letters to Missing Loved Ones
February 18 – Coping with Loneliness
March 18 – Treasured Memories and How to Hold on to Them

You are welcome to attend a single session or all three. Each month, we will email an invitation to register for that month’s meeting.

If you would like to participate in this group please email us at [email protected]
