SUMMARY:A Walkabout With Grief - September 12\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row nav_skin=”light” consent_include=”include”][vc_column css_animation=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nJoin Northern Illinois Hospice for A Walkabout With Grief on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026. This is a group for semi-active adults who are grieving the loss of a loved one. You’ll experience 45 minutes of walking with 15 minutes of discussion at the start and end of each session. It’s a beautiful setting with a paved walking path\, intermittent shade\, and benches available along the path to sit and view the small lake. \nOutings are on the 2nd Saturday of the month from May through October\, from 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM at Sycamore Lake Rotary Park\, 400 N Cross St. \n\nMay 9\nJune 13\nJuly 11\nAugust 8\nSeptember 12\nOctober 10\n\nPart of the path has some elevation. You will want to pack water\, a snack and dress appropriately\, including good walking shoes. If there’s rain in the forecast\, the group might be cancelled. No registration required. Just come on out and walkabout! \nWalkabouts are a symbolic journey and rite of passage. In grief\, we walk a journey not chosen by us\, but one that demonstrates our deep love. Grief is not a problem to be solved. Instead\, it’s an expression to be lived and a life passage from who we used to be into who we are becoming\, all while honoring our beloved. \nWe hope you will join us for our next Walkabout With Grief on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator line_color=”{“id“:“Main accent color“\,“color“:“#9e76b4“}” height=”2px” css_animation=””][vc_empty_space][vc_text_element css_animation=””] \nIn addition to Bridge of Hope\, Northern Illinois Hospice offers a variety of other grief support groups tailored to different needs and communities\, including: \n\nMemorial Pillow Workshops\nTranquil Tuesdays\nA Walkabout With Grief\nBridge of Hope\, A Bereavement Care Group – Rockford\nBridge of Hope\, A Bereavement Care Group – Sycamore\n\nFor more information about these programs and how to register\, please contact Northern Illinois Hospice at 815-398-0500. \n[/vc_text_element][/vc_column][/vc_row]
