Finding comfort after the loss of someone important can feel difficult, but no one has to navigate grief alone. "Finding Comfort" is a welcoming, drop-in community for adults grieving the death of someone important to them. Whether your loss is recent or years ago, you are invited to join others for connection, reflection, and support in a compassionate Jewish space.
Together, we create a safe environment to share and to listen, to learn alongside others, and to explore grief through conversation, guided learning, and Jewish wisdom and tradition. All are welcome, and whether you join us once or return regularly, you will be welcomed with warmth and care.
Please note: While these gatherings can be healing, they are not therapy. Instead, they are peer-based circles centered on presence, understanding, learning, and respect. If you are in acute crisis, coping with complex trauma, or looking for individual mental health care, we invite you to reach out to Mental Health Connect, the free, confidential information and referral service at Jewish Family & Children’s Service, by calling 781-693-5562.
