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:

Emmaus Retreat for Grieving Parents (April 2025)
2025-04-25 16:00 - 2025-04-27 10:00 | Franciscan Renewal Center, 5802 E Lincoln Drive, Paradise Valley, AZ, 85253, United States
The EMMAUS Ministry for Grieving Parents is a unique ministry that serves the spiritual needs of grieving parents
Fri, Apr 25, 4:00 pm
through
Sun, Apr 27, 10:00 am
Facilitated by Marianne Gouveia and Greg Eckerman
Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably the most searing is the loss of a child. During this weekend, just as Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus, we pray for all of our parents and we ask Jesus to join us as we walk the horrendous journey of grieving our loss every day. EMMAUS Ministry for Grieving Parents is a unique ministry that serves the spiritual needs of grieving parents whose children of any age have died by any cause, no matter how long ago.
We focus on the promise of eternal life and the rich teachings of our faith to help these terribly broken parents. We ask questions such as:
Where is God in my pain?
Where is my child right now?
Why do I feel abandoned by God?
How could God let this happen?
The retreat is offered by grieving parents who have lost children of their own. We provide an opportunity for parents to gather in a sacred, warm, and compassionate space with others who know their pain. Many parents find peace and comfort, at least for a time. All faiths are welcome. For additional information, contact Eric’s Mom, Marianne Gouveia, at 602.549.8932.
Fee, including meals: Single Room $250; Commuter $135 per person.
Please email Lora at lora@thecasa.org for information on double rooms.

Finding Your Way Through the Wilderness of Grief: Virtual Group for Mothers Who Lost a Child to Suicide (January 2026)

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
