Finding Your Way Through the Wilderness of Grief: Virtual Group for Mothers Who Lost a Child to Suicide (September 2025)

September 24 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

To join, we ask that you first connect with us by phone. Please email Marianne at marianne@ericshouse.org to schedule a time to talk. After our call, we’ll send you the registration forms by email.

This group is lovingly created for mothers who have lost an adult child to suicide—a loss that can carry layers of sorrow, confusion, and isolation. We suggest waiting 5–6 months after your loss before joining, as this gives space for initial shock to soften. Groups are small (8–10 participants) and guided by two compassionate facilitators, offering a safe and supportive space to share, grieve, and honor your child.

The Wilderness of Suicide Grief by Dr. Alan Wolfelt is the book used to accompany them on this journey. You can order the book here: https://a.co/d/8s4pXSk

This group is facilitated by Jackie Cole and Marianne Gouveia.
