The goal of the group is aimed at moving the participants closer to reconciling their grief while opening themselves to the mystery of grief, perhaps discovering a newly defined “why” for their own life.

The goals of the support group are to help you:

· Deal with the reality of your loss

· Understand the normal grief reaction

· Move through grief at your own pace

· Be able to build a satisfying new life

· Treasure your memories while building new traditions

· Renew your resources for living

· Acknowledge and understand your losses

· Be able to adjust your life without your loved one

Learn to appreciate the fact that you are alive and can develop in a new direction. Conversations are confidential. This is a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings without fear of repercussion or worry about family pressure. All expressed feelings are acceptable yet not coerced. It is totally about giving yourself permission to grieve in your own way.
