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 March 11th to May 13th via Zoom for 90 minute sessions.
Sessions will allow members to:

Share without judgment

Connect with other loss survivors

Learn more about grief including the 6 Needs Mourning and the 10 Touchstones by Dr. Alan Wolfelt Ph.D.

Ideas on how to integrate the loss into their life

Finding Our Way Mens Support Group for Loss of a Loved One to Suicide, Alcohol, or Substance Use
2025-05-08 17:00 - 18:30
This virtual support group is designed for men who have previously participated in EricsHouse Touchstones groups. Together, we’ll explore the deeper meanings of the latter touchstones—especially Reconciliation and Transformation—as we continue to navigate life after loss.
Over 10 sessions, we’ll reflect on how to make sense of grief in ways that feel authentic and personal. We’ll incorporate outside resources—books, articles, podcasts, and more—and invite group members to share what has inspired their healing journey. While rooted in the foundation of Dr. Wolfelt’s model, this group also encourages new ideas and meaningful discussion beyond the traditional curriculum.

Loss of a loved one is devastating. It can drive us into isolation. It defies all the cultural norms we (especially men) subject ourselves to – don’t cry, man up, move on . . . but it’s not that easy. While the pain of our losses may never lessen, it is possible for us to find purpose and meaning in a new version of our lives – to grow around and through our grief.
This group is designed for men who lost a loved one to suicide or substance use, offering understanding, support, and tools to navigate the wilderness of grief.
This support group meets via Zoom every Tuesday for 10 weeks from September 23 – November 25 from 4 to 5:30pm AZ time (4pm PT, 5pm MT, 6pm CT, 7pm ET).
