For people who have recently lost a loved one, JFS offers both individual and group support:

“Healing From Recent Loss”
Bereavement Support Group

Led by a bereavement professional, this group gives participants a safe place to share their pain and begin to heal.    Together, we explore the spiritual, emotional, and psychological components of the grieving process.   The group meets at Jewish Family Service in Irvine and is available at no charge.

Grief Counseling

Professional grief counselors provide emotional support while guiding you through the grieving process.  Counseling sessions can be held in Irvine or Laguna Woods and are available on a sliding scale basis.

Moving On From Bereavement 

This group is for individuals who are moving past the grieving process and want to explore new opportunities, changes in family roles, entering into new relationships, and personal and family issues. The group meets at Temple Judea in Laguna Woods and is available at no charge.
