Navigating the Wilderness of Grief

A Grief Support Group facilitated by the Mission Hospice Society.

This support group welcomes those who are currently navigating the profound loss of a family member, friend, relative, or significant other. Over the course of eight sessions our program will closely follow the insightful chapters of the book Understanding Your Grief: Ten Essential Touchstones for Finding Hope and Healing Your Heart.

During these sessions, participants will gain an understanding of grief, all while honouring the distinctiveness of each individual's grieving process. In a safe and caring environment participants will gain tools designed to guide them forward on their path of grieving. Moreover, they will receive compassionate assistance in reconciling with the significant social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects inherent in the grieving journey.

By sharing their stories and emotions with others, attendees will discover a sense of normalcy in the midst of the unfamiliar emotional terrain of grief. This shared experience paves the way for renewed hope and a transformative process of healing.

All participants will receive a free copy of the book Understanding Your Grief: Ten Essential Touchstones for Finding Hope and Healing Your Heart, written by Alan D Wolfelt PhD.

Group sessions will run Wednesdays, October 18 – December 6, 2023, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Mission Hospice House located at 32180 Hillcrest Ave.
