Grief is a universal experience but impacts each person differently. Music is a powerful tool. It not only soothes and brings comfort but opens various forms of communication and expression. The melding of a traditional grief group with music therapy will provide opportunities for participants to work through their grief while finding meaningful ways to connect with others. The group will be led by a professional music therapist and co-facilitated by a trained grief facilitator.

Sam's Fans is pleased to partner with Cornerstone of Hope to bring this innovative 8-week support group to grieving families. Hope in Harmony will use music therapy interventions to help support families as they process their feelings of loss and receive support from their peers. Participants will share songs, use instruments and examine lyrics as a way to explore and express their grief. No prior musical experience is needed.
