Caregiver Support

Years of caregiving takes its toll. Now you are alone. Caregivers have often experienced years of anticipatory grief with the cumulative losses that occurs when a family is expecting a death. Now the vigil is over and the final grief can be intense. No one grieves the same and there is no single recipe or formula to grief work. All that is needed is a commitment to do the work and grow in your grief. With grief in your heart, you will never be the same again. Yet there is hope in finding meaning and reinvesting in your future. Both individual and group sessions are offered.

Group Support

Bereaved Caregivers: Living Through Loss

This is a statement of hope and renewal. Grief groups are an effective way to support those who have experienced a loss. These groups offer a safe and supportive way to break the feelings of isolation, bear witness to others, and eventually find new meaning in their lives.

Choosing to come to a group can be an enormous act of courage. For some, the thought of sharing their sorrow and loss with strangers may feel overwhelming while others may not want to burden new people with their feelings. However, the benefits of groups show that shared experiences among what begins as “a gathering of strangers” breaks the isolation and loneliness while creating a sense of community and strength. There will be a combination of learnings during the sessions along with individual activities to complete between meetings.
