Have you experienced the death of a sibling?
Your sibling knows you for the entirety of your life. You have memories with them that you hold to your heart. You may feel lonely and lost, but we are here to give you support.
A licensed clinician supervises all programs and will assist you to determine your needs. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in the services listed below.
For more information on Support Groups and Individual Adult Grief Support, contact us.
INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT
Individual grief services include meeting with a clinician for short-term, individual grief counseling, or with an extensively trained FVHH volunteer.
The work with a FVHH volunteer focuses on facilitating a grief companion relationship. They provide a listening and supportive ear while identifying additional resources to help during this difficult time. We recommend meeting with a volunteer if you have made progress in your grief process already but need ongoing support.
GROUP PROGRAMS
The M.A.L.E.S. (Men After Loss Expressing themselves Safely) support group is specifically for men who are grieving the loss of a loved one. This group provides a forum where guys can “let go” and freely express their thoughts and feelings with other men who are experiencing the same challenges.
This open (drop in) group meets the second Saturday of each month at 9 a.m. Coffee and doughnuts provided. For more information, contact us.
Life After Caregiving addresses topics such as navigating through grief and the loss of your role as a caregiver. This is an open group held at Arden Courts of Geneva. Registration is required.

Hope for the Holidays, a program conducted by Fox Valley Hands of Hope from November through January, provides participants with coping skills to get through the holiday season and, if appropriate, incorporate the memory of their loved ones into holiday traditions. A concurrent program is conducted for children.
