The loss of a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences. There is no right or wrong way to “do grief”. Nor is there a specific timeline to follow or on which to rely. Every individual is unique and it is to be expected that his or her journey of grief will be unique. It has been said that one cannot truly understand this experience unless he or she has gone through it. Strength and insight can be gained as people share their personal reflections of this shared experience.

When and Where?

Six Weekly Sessions

1:30 pm or 7:00 pm In-Person or on Zoom

What can I expect?  The purpose of this group is to gather people together who have lost a loved one. Elizabeth creates an atmosphere of safety and confidentiality which allows you to share aspects of your grief. Elizabeth specializes in life transitions and grief will be examined from this context. Each week she will introduce an aspect of transition and will then facilitate conversation among the participants, encouraging them to share their insights with each other, so that they might support and be supported. Grief often creates situations and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Your journey through this difficult stage in life can be helped by sharing your story with others and listening to others’ stories. Not only will you realize you are not alone, but you will gain insight from the interactions in the group, learning from hearing their stories—and yours – as you tell it aloud.

What will I take away? You will learn 6 components of transition, which will give you a context for your own experience. It is hoped, that through the insights and encouragement received from the process, you will begin to make sense of this difficult time in your life and begin to move from a place of grief and loss to a new way of being.
