Community grief support groups are available in Steamboat Springs at the Heart of Steamboat United Methodist Church, in the fireplace room there. This is at 736 Oak Street. They meet from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Tuesdays.
Groups also meet at the Hayden Public Library. That’s from 3-4 pm. on the first and third Monday of each month.
Meetings focus on understanding death and honoring connection with a deceased loved one while making a healthy transition into life without that person.
