The GOOD GRIEF GROUP

GOOD GRIEF GROUP

As members of the grieving community, we will meet weekly to discuss questions about our loss, such as:

In what ways do you feel your life has been altered by this loss?

What coping mechanisms have you found helpful in managing your grief?

What aspects of your grief do you find most challenging to communicate to others?

More features to roll out this year at no additional cost; such as:

Daily encouragement texts.

Exclusive membership message board (not Facebook) for further accountability and support from others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? You Are Not Alone.

What is grief?

Grief is the emotional response to loss, particularly the loss of someone or something significant, such as a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even an ideal. It encompasses a wide range of feelings, including sadness, anger, confusion, guilt, and loneliness. Grief can also manifest physically and socially, affecting one’s behavior and relationships.

When does grief end?

Grief is not just a series of events, or stages or timelines. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through the grief. But how long do you grieve for a husband of fifty years? A teenager killed in a car accident? A four-year-old child? A year? Five years? Forever? The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime.

Why not just avoid grief?

We think we want to avoid the grief, but really it is the pain of the loss we want to avoid. Grief is the healing process that ultimately brings us comfort in our pain.

Is it possible to “move on” after a loss?

"Moving on" is a controversial term. Many people prefer to think of it as integrating the loss into their lives. The person who has passed or the event that has occurred remains part of you, but with time, the intensity of the pain usually softens, and you find a new normal.
