Group is a free peer-facilitated support group to share our experiences, chat and help each other thru our own individual grief journeys and experiences in a welcoming, no-judgemental & non-religious group friendly setting. We are not mental health professionals, but just people navigating our own grief journeys, and looking to just be present for others grieving like ourselves.
IMPORTANT: All the private groups are all inclusive, non-religious, and all welcoming compassionate communities of people grieving helping each other thru our journeys. AT NO TIME, any negative comment about anyone, or anything in the groups is allowed, and anyone not respecting this mutual respect rule of membership - will be removed immediately and banned from all groups. Open virtual peer-led grief support groups are not for everyone and if they are not for you - no problem, please log off the groups. All the groups are very compassionate spaces, and we need to keep them like that for all. Thank you.
Our meetings are currently via the free Zoom video, and as social distancing restrictions are eased - we hope to have small in person gatherings.
Even if you have not used Zoom Video before, we will provide links to simple short "How To Use" zoom YouTube videos for non-technical folks - on each event listing so you can review and practice prior to your meeting.
This is not a group to provide any type of advice, but a group to share, listen and just be there for ourselves and our neighbors in a relaxed virtual setting.
ALL INCLUSIVE, NON-RELIGIOUS, ALL WELCOMING: All are welcome and we strongly appreciate the importance of diversity; including differences in age, sex, race, ethnicity, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education and political perspective.
