Local Grief Support Groups

Local Grief Support Groups

There are several organizations in the Minot area that have support groups for people who have experienced the death of a loved one.


Hope Fellowship

Hope Fellowship is a ministry specifically for those whose husband or wife has passed away. You are welcome to join us at our monthly meeting if you have had a recent loss of your spouse, or it has been many years. Make some new friends among those who understand what you are experiencing. Each meeting will focus on a topic relevant to you, as we share in a light meal or snack. Please call Sue Thomas at 838-2832 if you would like more information or the date and time of our next meeting.
