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 other Tuesday for 10 sessions from January 20th – May 26th from 7 to 8:30pm EST time (4pm PST).
The Wilderness of Grief: Finding Your Way – by Dr. Alan Wolfelt is the book used to accompany group members on their journey. This book can be ordered here: https://a.co/d/bs5vI14

Exploring our assumptions about life
Finding a new inner balance with no endpoints
