I have looked on line and I don't seem to find any groups in my area. I don't belong to a particular church and so I feel uncomfortable going to any church in town and checking to see if they have such a group. Please offer any advice you may have. Thank you.
There's a funeral home in my town that has a support group. Also, the Visiting Nurses Association has a grief support group that meets monthly at our local hospital. I appreciate your question because I really need to get out of myself. I forgot all about these resources. Hope you are able to find a group in your town!
local community center and see if they have any groups. Please know that you have my sympathy and hugs.
You can Shed Tears or ...

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she’d want:
smile,
open your eyes,
love
and go on.
With lots of hugs
If your mother was on hospice call the organization and see if they can refer you to a hospice organization in your area.
The funeral home had grief counselling as an option. (I passed, because I planned to use that offered by hospice.) Call your local funeral homes and see what they know about in your area.
Many hospitals run support groups of various kinds. Ask locally.
And good luck to all of us!
Death leaves a heartache no-one can heal...........
Love leaves a memory no-one can steal.
