✺ Group TheraPy: GRIEF
Because healing is better when you're not alone. It’s a safe space to share, learn, and grow together, with a healthy dose of empathy, support, and maybe even a little laughter along the way.
Group therapy is a one-of-a-kind experience that brings together the best of community and guidance. If you’re into connecting, growing, and sharing in a safe space, this might just be your thing.
In group, you'll meet others who get what you’re going through, and that sense of connection can be truly healing. It’s not just about you—it's about learning from each other, swapping insights, and offering support. Plus, there's something really powerful about realizing you're not alone on this
How Grief Group Works
Connect & Share
In the group, you’ll find a safe space to share your grief and connect with others who truly understand what you're going through. You’ll never have to explain yourself—just be you.
Support & Learn
Through discussion and support, you’ll gain new perspectives and insights, while offering your own. It’s about learning from each other’s journeys and finding comfort in shared experiences.
Heal & Grow
Over time, you'll begin to process your grief in a way that feels manageable. The group is here to support your healing at your own pace, helping you find hope, strength, and peace.

Group Therapy Tips
Be gentle with yourself
Grief doesn’t have a “to-do” list. Take it slow and let yourself feel whatever comes up. There’s no rush.
Listen with an open heart
Sometimes hearing someone else’s story can feel like a warm hug. You’re not just learning from others—you’re connecting.
Speak when you are ready
No pressure to talk, but when you do, your voice is important. It’s all about sharing at your own pace.
Keep it in the group
What’s said here stays here. That trust makes the group a safe place to really be yourself.
Lean in for support
We’re all in this together, so lean on the group when you need to, and offer support when you can. It’s a two-way street.
Give yourself some space
Some days will be easier than others—and that’s completely normal. Don’t beat yourself up about it.
Ask Away
If something’s confusing or you’re just curious, ask! This is a place for questions and answers.
Know your limits
If things get too heavy, it’s totally fine to step back. Your boundaries are important, and we’ve got your back.
Celebrate the small wins
Healing isn’t all big moments. Every little step forward counts, and sometimes a deep breath is a victory.
Trust the process
Grief doesn’t work on a schedule, but it’s working. Trust that healing happens, even if it feels like a slow burn.
