Grief Center at Alive Hospice and Brentwood United Methodist Church Announce Support Group Partnership

Nashville, TN—The Grief Center at Alive Hospice and Brentwood United Methodist Church are proud to announce a new partnership, which brings Alive Hospice grief support groups to the church’s campus. The first eight-week support group to be held at the church will be on Thursday evenings from September 14 through November 2 from 5:30-7:00 PM. The group is not loss-specific. It is open to any griever who has lost a loved one within the past two years. There is no fee, but space is limited. Pre-registration by phone is required. For registration or for more information, contact The Grief Center at Alive Hospice at 963-4732.

“We are delighted to form this partnership with Alive Hospice. Brentwood United Methodist Church continually looks for ways to meet community needs and when we realized there was a need for grief support services in the Brentwood area, we identified Alive Hospice as a natural partner to help us meet this need,” said Reverend Kaye Harvey, Pastor of Congregational Care. “I believe this partnership between two highly respected organizations will do so much for the Brentwood and Williamson County communities. Alive Hospice’s Grief Center counselors are experts in their field. It is exciting to know that we will have a presence at Brentwood United Methodist Church,” said Edie Rimas, Chief Operating Officer for Alive Hospice.

In addition to the support group offered at Brentwood United Methodist Church, The Grief Center at Alive Hospice will offer its regular Fall eight-week support groups at the Alive Hospice location on 1718 Patterson Street in Nashville. Support groups for bereaved spouses will meet on Mondays, September 11 through October 30, 10:00-11:30 a.m. and 5:30-7:00 p.m., and for general grief on Tuesdays, September 12 through October 31, from 5:30-7:00 p.m.

The Grief Center at Alive Hospice is open to everyone in the Middle Tennessee community, both hospice and non-hospice families. The support groups are appropriate for anyone who has lost a loved one in the past two years. To register, please call (615) 963-4732.
