Grief Group

Loss is life changing. It can affect so many aspects of our lives and ourselves – identity, lifestyle, responsibilities, support, ability for joy, ideas about ourselves and the world. Grief is like a river – ongoing & often changing, it can be full of turbulence, flow, rapids, and unexpected fluctuations. Sometimes grief is more complicated, sometimes totally different than we might have expected. Navigate your personal grief experience in a supportive space with others who have experienced loss.

Gain insights into:

• Grief myths and stigmas
• Managing social interactions following loss
• Coping with changes to lifestyle or responsibilities
• Regaining sense of purpose and satisfaction in life
• Managing intense feelings or meltdowns
• Ways trauma complicates grief

The purpose of this group is to find validation, support, awareness, and to alleviate a sense of isolation that often accompanies grief. Join us for support in moving forward with grief toward remembering with more love than pain.

• Wednesdays at 4:00 PM at The Villages Health Santa Barbara Care Center dates TBD.

8 weekly 1-hour sessions. FREE. As this is a closed group, participants must attend the first group session to remain enrolled in the program. For our open group and alumni sessions, please see the Learning Center class calendar for available dates.
