New Beginnings

6-Week Support Group for Loss of a Spouse

During the 1st Year

The days, weeks and months following the loss of a spouse or partner may be filled with many unexpected and challenging struggles. Within the first year, these may seem impossible to cope with. In this group you will be invited to partake in discussions and doable tasks to help create a sense of movement and purpose, including reflections and activities between sessions.

The 6 interactive meetings will deal with many of the difficult topics that arise during the first year after the loss of a spouse/partner.

Cost: $60

Legacies of Loss

6-Week Support Group
After the 1st Year

Following an experience of the profound loss of a loved one, life can become charted by periods of uncertainty or loneliness or sadness. While there is an undeniable intensity within the first year to two years following a death, there often are other grief experiences that lay beyond that initial early bereavement period that may need a different tending and care. This six week interactive program works from a “problem-focused, solution-oriented” lens and is designed for individuals who experienced a significant death loss at least one year ago and are feeling stuck and would like to regain energy for living as well as a stronger sense of purpose and meaning in this life. 

Cost: $60

Relationships and Grief

4-Week Support Group

Grief cracks us wide open, other pain and past losses come up and need to come out. Relationship issues surface. Sometimes we feel a pull to make ourselves better and the need for change. This group will provide a safe space to discuss and process the different ways grief affects relationships with others and ourselves. In these 4 weeks, we will discuss topics like:
How have your relationships changed?
How people seem to disappear, and new people appear who can support you.
How roles change and we sometimes need to find a new way to relate to people in our lives or we need to find a new community of people who understand.
What boundaries can you set to manage difficult relationships?

Cost: $60

What is a Weekly Support Group at HeartLight Center?

Anyone who has experienced a death-loss, and is at least of 18 years of age, is invited to attend an weekly support group at HeartLight Center. For weekly groups, there is a series of set meeting dates as well as a pre-defined curriculum to help guide group discussions and topics for each meeting. No one new will join the group after the first meeting. Each meeting will last approximately an hour and a half for each scheduled date of the series. Group size typically will range from 3-10 people.

There is a cost associated with the weekly, closed groups at HeartLight Center.

Weekly, Closed Groups at HeartLight are led by trained, peer facilitators who have completed the training specific to the weekly group they are leading. Facilitators will open group with agreed upon expectations and then participants are invited to introduce themselves and share as much, or as little, as feels comfortable.
