Searching for a bereavement support group in NY or virtually

Hello. Is anyone aware of a bereavement support group that focuses specifically on those who have lost loved ones to Alzheimer's or any other form of dementia? My mum died four months ago and I've been looking for suitable group therapy but have only found general grief groups. There is something uniquely awful about this disease that I want to find a group of other people who understand. I'm in New York and would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Sending love to all of you.

    At the top right hand corner of this page there is a Help, that you can click on. Fill out the form and the ALZ. ORG. will help you if they can.

      Good luck.
