WELCOME TO THE LOWER MAINLAND GRIEF RECOVERY SOCIETY (LMGRS)

The LMGRS is a non-profit registered charitable organization that has been organizing grief support groups in the greater Vancouver area for over 34 years.

Our programs are designed for those who have suffered the death of a significant person by helping them understand, cope and live with their loss. We help the grieving person move from pain to healing in a non-judgemental, compassionate and confidential environment.

OUR MISSION
To support the bereaved in rebuilding their lives by helping them better understand their grief and create a safe, compassionate space to share their thoughts and feelings.

OUR VALUES
Healing ~ Hope ~ Community ~ Integrity ~ Connection ~ Inclusion 

WHAT WE OFFER
Grief Support Groups
Our support groups are designed for those who are struggling with the pain of losing a significant person. Trained and experienced facilitators walk with participants on a journey through healing by offering coping tools, support and the chance to share feelings and stories. Being with others who ‘get’ what you are going through can be extremely comforting and powerful.

For more information about our support groups, please go to our Support Groups page.

Grief Education
We are dedicated and passionate about offering education to individuals and organizations who would like to be more skilled in helping themselves or others with grief.

For more information about our education programs, please go to our Education page.

NON-PROFIT SOCIETY
As we are a non-profit society and do not receive public funding, we rely extensively on the generosity of time and money from our volunteers, members and community partners.
