Loss and Beyond Program - 4 Week Group Sessions
The death of a Loved One is a powerful moment that changes your life and starts you on your Grief Journey. During the journey there are many support avenues, be it family, friends, professionals, church, community and others who are also on their grief journey. It is these others on their grief journey that come together in the four week group sessions of the Loss and Beyond Program.
There are times when we feel the need to reach out past family, friends, professionals, church and community to continue talking and walking through our loss in companionship with another who is doing the same. The group sessions bring together those on their grief journey, sharing their experience and gaining an understanding of the unique and natural process of grief.
Whether the death was sudden or anticipated we are never fully prepared for the experience of the death and the aftermath of grief.
In a safe, respectful and supportive environment the group will explore the complexity of grief and examine healthy coping methods. Group sessions are not a fit for everyone, so read on to see if they may work for you at this time or in the near future. It is important to respect and honour what feels right for you.
Sessions are offered in the spring, summer and fall and advanced registration is required. As a Newediuk Funeral Home family, you will be notified of upcoming groups. For more information on the next available bereavement group contact the funeral home at (416)745-7555 or send a request by e-mail.
