The Art of Grief Online Support Group
There are no words but many images of grief. Our expressive arts informed weekly support group utilizes therapeutic art to comfort feelings of loss. Loss is not "gotten over" but lived with. There is no formula to overcome grief. Our attachment styles can influence how we process and accept a permanent absence. Loss is traumatic and inevitable. We are never fully prepared. All we can do is live in the reality after a loss. How? One day at a time and staying emotionally safe while releasing our feelings.
