      Designed for people ages 50 and above, the Acknowledging Loss Discussion Support Group at Pasadena Senior Center offers sessions twice/month to help people bear permanent, difficult losses.

      By Melanie Hooks

      Presented in Partnership with Foundation for Senior Services, the support group is offered twice: the first Tuesday of the month  at 3:00 pm onsite at Pasadena Senior Center and online on the second Wednesday of the month at 12:00 pm via Zoom. Pasadena residency not required.

      The group’s organizers state, “Loss isn’t just about what’s missing—it’s about what mattered. In a culture that rushes to ‘move on,’ we often bypass the most essential parts of true healing and personal growth—to actively engage in the full range of our emotions and begin to honor the experience of grief and loss. This is not about fixing or forgetting—it’s about integrating memories in a way that brings peace, meaning, and wholeness to our lives. Join these discussion groups to share experiences and receive support from others in a compassionate, safe, and confidential space as we work through the healing journey.”

      For more information contact the Welcome Desk at (626) 795-4331. To contact Foundation for Senior Services call (855) 836–0807 or via email at Info@TheFSS.org.
