Grief is tough to navigate, especially on your own. Friends and family may expect you to ‘get over’ something that will probably stay with you forever, and resources to address the complexities of your situation are scarce.

This is an opportunity to connect with others who are also going through the grief process, and to develop some tools to help you better navigate it.

This gathering is designed to provide a safe and supportive setting to connect with others who have experienced a loss, and to learn effective coping strategies. The group has educational and reflective elements, to provide you with a better understanding of what grief is (including secondary losses), how grief can be processed, and approaches for healing.

Some of the group goals include:

• acknowledge and validate grief,
• observe emotions,
• reduce emotional and social isolation,
• adjust to the loss,
• develop healthy coping skills,
• foster resilience,
• discover hope and empowerment, and
• connection with community.

The group will meet on the first and third Mondays of each month from 6-7:30pm at the InStill Center for Wellbeing in Pulaski. The group will begin on Monday, September 15.

This is an open-ended group, all are welcome! There is no cost to attend the group, but donations are welcome.
