Finding Your Way Through The Wilderness of Grief Group

Losing a sibling to suicide or substance use is heartbreaking. Siblings share unique bonds that begin early on in life. This group is designed to support adults grieving the loss of a sibling. It is recommended members be 4 to 5 months out from their loss before joining this group. Adults who lost a sibling are often called “the Forgotten Mourners.” Emotional complexities along with the relationships and grief of other family members can sometimes overshadow the grief of siblings. This group provides support so siblings have a safe space to share their feelings in response to loss. This group has 6-10 members with 2 facilitators. We will meet weekly for 10 weeks from October 9th to December 11th via Zoom for 90 minute sessions.

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
