Description of possible Bereavement Group for summer and/or fall 2021.
As we emerge from a year of isolation, loneliness, and loss, many of us are still carrying expressed and unexpressed sorrow and grief. Author Jaime Anderson writes, “Grief, I have learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”
Through the use of poetry, short journal writes and group conversation, we will create a supportive environment for being with our different loss experiences. Our losses can include the deaths of, or separations from, loved ones, job changes and losses, ambiguous loss experiences and feelings of the loss of a sense of purpose, connection or meaning. We will explore resources together for holding our sorrow and increasing our resilience.
This group will have a daytime schedule to be determine and meet for 4 weeks for 1 1/2 hours.
