The Journey Through Grief: Support Group for Newly Bereaved Parents
Suicide and Substance Abuse Loss – Loss of Child
This group, offered periodically based on client demand, is open to newly bereaved parents who lost a child to suicide or substance abuse loss. We would like to express our deepest condolences to you and your loved ones after the loss of your child. When you’re newly bereaved, suddenly you find yourself on an emotional roller-coaster where you have no idea what to expect next. This group designed for both men and women focuses on the Six Needs of Mourning developed by Dr. Alan Wolfelt, Founder of the Center for Loss in Ft. Collins, CO. It is also focused on supporting parents who have lost a child to suicide, substance, or other forms of self-harm where the layers of grief are quite complex.
This group is open to couples or single parents. While we recognize that grief is universal, it is also a very personal experience. As a result, both parents may most likely be moving along at their own pace. That is normal and natural. Parents are welcome to join as a couple or individuals.
