When tragedy strikes, how can we help?
Pathways has been serving the community with the oldest bereavement programs for children and families in the Greater Lakewood/Long Beach area. Grief is like a wave on the beach—it comes and goes with the changing tide. Sometimes the swells are so high you can hardly keep afloat. Other times, the undertow will knock you off your feet no matter how hard you fight it. With help from those who understand, each new day gets you closer to your new “normal”. Pathways provides a variety of bereavement services to help adults stem the tide.
Journey Adult Grief Support Groups
Journey groups are designed for adults who are learning to cope with loss to gain encouragement from one another in the process of adjustment. Grief presents a variety of experiences, often causing us to feel like we are losing our minds. But grieving people are not crazy; we are learning to adjust to life, to a new set of circumstances and routines. Sharing our experiences and learning from each other does not lessen our grief, but it does help us to understand what in our experience is “normal”. Here are our current groups available to the community:
Journey's Leisure World Adult Grief Groups (resident's only)

Widows Group
Created specifically for women who have lost a loved one, our Widows Group meets every Tuesday afternoon to provide a safe space for all widows to process grief through sharing and learning from each others’ experiences.
