It has been said that whether we are experiencing great personal joy or in the grips of enormous emotional despair, it is our PAIN that we obey.

   This is especially true for those of us experiencing the emotional crisis called grief. Frequently, people in grief may experience feelings of sadness, anger, emptiness, guilt, abandonment, confusion, etc.

   
   If allowed to, grief can act as a monster. It can overtake our lives and occupy our thoughts and feelings to the point that we may feel that we have become emotionally paralyzed.

   The GOOD NEWS is that the monster of grief can be overcome and eventually defeated. However, learning to effectively work through ones emotional grief generally takes time and hard work.

 


Why a Grief Support Group ?

   We believe that sharing our grief helps to diminish our grief. However, for those people who have been conditioned into not publicly expressing their emotional sadness and loss, this can be very difficult.

     We have a list of grief support resources that are available to the families we serve.  Every person is different and special in their own way, and will grieve in their own way.  Because of this there are different programs available.

      During support meetings, you will learn that grief is a process and that healing is frequently related to the choices we make.

 Remember  ….. none of us alone, are as strong as all of us together.
