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. We will meet weekly for 10 weeks from March 11th to May 13th via Zoom for 90 minute sessions.

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
