Goals of the Group

A place to share stories, ask questions or seek advice. Grief affects every person in a different way every time.

Facilitating mutual understanding, the group encourages open communication to help members process their grief, reduce feelings of isolation, and develop coping strategies.

The intention of this space is to experience and allow onself to grieve at their own pace while holding space for each other. The process of grieving isn't linear and not experienced in stages, it's a complex process which takes time, compassion and care.

Who is the group for?

Anyone who is experiencing loss of a loved one. Grief is a very complex emotion that needs time, space and comfort, we hope to create that space in a collective sense of community to grieve ourselves and with each other sometimes, in silence, in any creative expression form through movement, writing, music , any chord that makes you feel connected.

What will we talk about?

• Share stories of grief and loss in a safe space
• Waves of emotions that come and go
• Everyday life without your loved one
• Anger, resentment and pain
• Rediscover people, places, activities, emotions & memories that one can draw comfort from
• Learn the skills to reconnect with the deceased and reestablish life without them

Learn from us & from each other

  • You’re free to be sad, happy, frustrated, cry or laugh – just be yourself and you won’t be judged. My group understands what grief feels like – for real.
