Grief & Loss: Connection and Post-Traumatic Growth

About the group:

This group is designed to help participants deal with feelings and experiences involved with grief and loss. There are no exact ‘rights or wrongs’ in dealing with loss, nor any specific timeframe where we expect to move beyond it. The death of someone significant in our lives affects each person uniquely and personally. We often find ourselves in the ripple effects of the loss, and other losses that come after. We want you to know that you are not alone!

It is through interacting with our emotions, as well as expressing them in a safe, supportive place that we encounter new beginnings and hope beyond our experienced loss. Throughout the length of our group, we will learn about grief and loss, explore and understand our grief and loss, connect with others, and find ways to make sense and personally grow from our losses.
