Question by D: bereavement group in Boston?
I lost a brother to years ago and found out another one of my brothers is terminal. Can anyone tell me about a bereavement/cancer group I could join in Massachusetts. I live in Boston now. Thanks.

I’m so sorry to hear about your brothers. The Dana Farber Cancer Institute (in the Longwood Medical district) has a number of cancer support groups, including a bereavement program. MGH has a support group for people who have loved ones currently fighting cancer, but I don’t know if their bereavement program is open to the public. Even if these programs don’t work for you, the people who run them may be able to recommend other groups. There are also a lot of support groups specific to a certain kind of cancer, so googling “boston cancer support group” and the kind of cancer involved may help.
