Positive Grief Experience.

It's been pointed out to me that I have my dates wrong.  The group starts tomorrow the 7th.  I apologize for the error.


To all my local readers, I'll be co-facilitating a six-week, Growing through Grief Group with a good friend at Providence Hospice's Grief Support program. Ross, who is facilitating, is the most down-to-earth, compassionate, funny individual, and he runs a great group. I've facilitated these groups before and they can be so positive for people who are dealing, or trying to deal, with a loss in the last year - or even last few years.

As we all know, grief can be handily pushed down, ignored, and subsumed "until I have more time to deal with it," leaving a lot of grief un-grieved. When there is a new loss, of any kind, big or small, the unexamined grief from the past can resurface, sometimes violently, leaving people exhausted, strung-out, bereaved, and wondering what the hell is happening.That is why a group like this can be so good because it helps support us through this difficult process.

During the group, we will tell our stories, learn techniques for grieving, and experience new possibilities for what life - post loved-one - can look like. If you feel like this might be for you, I urge you to call 206.749.6602 and speak to someone there who can get you signed up. The group is starting next Tuesday, the 10th, at 1:00, and will continue for six weeks until November 18th, skipping the 28th.
