Tabitha to Offer a Variety of Support Groups in February
Tabitha (Tabitha.org), Nebraska’s industry-leading senior care provider, offers a variety of support groups in Lincoln and Lancaster County. Online grief and support groups are open to anyone in the community and are a great way to find support while sharing common experiences and coping tips in the safety and comfort of your home. Your loved one did not have to be with Tabitha. Participation is free and registration can be found online at Tabitha.org/Hospice/Bereavement.
