These groups are for men and women who are going through a separation or divorce and want to share their experience with others going through a similar loss. Three different groups meet in Wellesley and a fourth group is forming in Concord. The Wellesley groups meet weekly on Monday evenings at 6:00 or 7:30 and Tuesday evening at 5:30. A new group is forming in the Concord, MA and will be held on Thursday mornings. The cost of each meeting is $45. The goals of these group are to provide a supportive place to grieve one's loss, to learn from each other, and to provide an opportunity for psychological growth.
