Grief Support Group

The purpose of this support group is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for people to share their thoughts, emotions, and challenges related to loss and grief. A support group is not a therapy group. While it might be therapeutic by nature, it is distinct from therapy groups in that the goal is not to provide individual or group therapy, rather, this group will provide a supportive environment to work with and help normalize the grief process. The group will have a structured, weekly format with topics and materials related to loss and grief.

Betty Durso, a local resident of Geyserville, facilitates the group. Betty has worked with Sutter Care at Home Hospice as a volunteer caregiver since 1988, visiting patients in their homes and/or assisted living facilities. Betty’s professional background is in education, having served as a school administrator, teacher, and educational trainer in various capacities. Betty has planned, designed, and facilitated educational group seminars and workshops. She has also taught courses in higher education at Sonoma State University, Dominican University, and Humbolt State University.
