The masculine griever faces tough challenges. A man’s grief defies all the cultural norms we subject ourselves to: don’t cry, man up, move on . . . but it’s not that easy. We must first acknowledge that, while it’s possible that we could get through great loss on our own, it’s difficult to do it alone. The odds of success go way up with good support.
Whether you’ve lost a child, sibling, parent, or close friend, EricsHouse Men’s Groups create a safe space where you can risk sharing your loss and pain in the presence of other men who have their own deep personal experiences of loss – who will not judge you, presume to ‘fix’ you, invade you, or abandon you.
This Men’s Group focuses on the challenge of integrating your loss to define a new version of yourself, find meaning and purpose, and receive and give support to others. We are forever changed by our losses, but we have choices in how we change and who we will become. We will listen to, learn from, and support one another on our individual journeys of discovery to find hope and healing after our losses.
“Finding Our Way” is a 9 week group limited to 12 members. It is co-facilitated by Greg Eckerman and Ken Slesarik. Meetings will be virtual. We will follow The Wilderness of Grief – Finding Your Way, by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D. This support group meets weekly on Tuesday at 6 PM MST (8:00 PM EST – 5:00 PM PST). Sessions begin on February 8th and end on April 5th.
