The Healing Benefits of Groups.

“A support group is like a life line, offering hope and encouragement when we need it the most.”

— Unknown

Grief can be an isolating and overwhelming experience, but finding solace in a grief group can offer immense healing benefits. These support groups provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can openly express their emotions, share their unique stories, and be embraced by others who have experienced similar losses. Through shared empathy and understanding, members of the group create a sense of belonging and companionship, which can alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation. Attending a grief group allows individuals to witness the diverse ways in which others cope with their grief, which can offer validation and normalize their own grieving process.

Additionally, grief groups often provide educational resources and guidance on coping strategies, helping individuals develop healthier ways to navigate the complex journey of grief. Ultimately, the healing benefits of a grief group lie in the transformative power of connection and communal support that enables individuals to find hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose in life.

Who death are you grieving?

All of our groups are community funded and are free for anyone to join. Our grief counsellors help group members understand their grief, and members talk about their journey’s with each other. Our groups most times have people waiting to join so we ask that you sign our pledge of commitment that you will attend the groups for the duration once you have been contacted, unless you feel the group is not for you.
