Our Military Family and Friends Bereavement Support Group welcomes any military family member or friend who is coping with the death of a loved one who died as a result of service in the military. Included are service members who died in combat, or because of combat-related exposure or injury; service members who took their own lives due to post traumatic stress, or traumatic brain injury, or as a result of transition stress; or service members who died in training accidents or from friendly fire.

The group will meet the first Sunday of the month at 2 p.m. in the 2nd Floor Conference Room for the Quaboag Valley CDC, 23 W. Main Street, Ware, Mass. Facilitator Beverly Prestwood-Taylor, executive director of the Brookfield Institute, says that grief for a service member takes many forms — and all are right.

For more information, call Prestwood-Taylor at (413) 563-7282 or email beverly@careforthetroops-ma.org.
