Virtual Grief Group brought to you by our friends at SF Senior Center – Aquatic Park

Thursdays, May 7 through June 11, from 11am-12pm. San Francisco Senior Center – Aquatic Park, in collaboration with VITAS Hospice, is offering a six week Zoom virtual grief group for those seeking emotional support during these difficult times. As much of our day to day life has been impacted by the pandemic, so has our grief related to the losses in our life. Often when we are grieving, we can feel alone and isolated. When we add to that the social isolation imposed for safety reasons, the aloneness can be overwhelming. If you would like a place to talk about your experience, please plan to join the group which will be facilitated by Dale Poland, Bereavement Service Manager at VITAS Hospice.

This will include self-funding, smart use of home equity, LTC insurance, and government-based programs. Emphasis will be placed on multi-generational planning steps to protect the family home and other assets while qualifying for Medi-Cal, which can pay for skilled nursing care.
