September 9 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

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.

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

Session Dates: September 9, 16, 23, 30 October 7, 14, 21, 28 November 4, 11

Meeting time: 4pm AZ time, 4pm PDT, 5pm, MDT, 6pm CDT, 7pm EDT

This group is facilitated by Madison Shirley and Greg Eckerman.

Meetings will be virtual. We will follow The Wilderness of Grief – Finding Your Way by Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph. D. Participants receive a copy of the book in the mail. This support group meets every Monday for 10 weeks.

The 10 sessions are $250 for new members and

$150 for repeat members. 

Scholarships are available.
