Loss Through Death Group
This group is for people experiencing the loss of a loved one through
death.
The loss of someone you care for may bring the greatest emotional pain
one can ever experience. For many people, the resulting feelings of
loneliness, sadness, fear and abandonment are overwhelming, and one's
identity, self-esteem and sense of purpose in life may also suffer.
Through lectures, sharing and written exercises, group members learn
to adjust to the pain of loss, restore their self-esteem, and regain
hope and energy for the future.
Groups have a limited enrollment and run for 6 weeks. A fee will be
charged for this group. For more information on dates and times, please
call Living Through Loss Counselling.
