Finding Your Way Through the Wilderness of Grief: Virtual Group for Mothers Who Lost a Adult Child to Suicide

A pre-registration phone call is required. Please email Madi at [email protected] to set up a date and time to connect over the phone. 

Losing a child is an unimaginable trauma, and when that loss results from suicide, the pain can become even more complicated. If you’ve experienced this loss, you may be navigating a complex grief filled with emotions like shame, guilt, anger, blame, shock, and isolation—feelings that can be hard to process. This group is designed to support Mothers who lost their adult child to suicide.

We recommend that individuals are 5 to 6 months from their loss before joining this group. The group consists of 8 to 10 members, along with two facilitators. Everyone is working through their own set of challenging emotions. Our meetings provide a safe, intimate space to share your feelings and honor the memory of your loved one.

Sessions will be held virtually, guided by Dr. Alan D. Wolfelt’s book, The Wilderness of Suicide Grief – Finding Your Way. The book can be purchased here: https://a.co/d/goWYtku

This support group meets every Tuesday for 10 weeks via Zoom from 4 to 5:30pm MST (3pm PST, 5pm CST, 6pm EST). Sessions begin on January 7 and end on March 11. 

Session Dates: January 7, 14, 21, 28, February 4, 11, 18, 25 March 4, 11
