SUMMARY:Complicated Loss Group (Sudden Deaths)
DESCRIPTION:Complicated grief is simply normal\, necessary grief that has gotten stuck or off track somehow. It has encountered barriers or detours of one kind or another\, and as a result has become stalled\, waylaid\, or denied altogether. It is not abnormal or pathological. Instead\, it is a normal response in what is almost always an abnormally challenging situation. \nJoin this group to get assistance if you are struggling going through the wilderness of emotions and receive suggestions coming back to your safe place. Share your experience with others to receive support and let us guide you and accompany you going through this critical time. \nThis group starts Monday\, Sept 14/2026 from 10-12 pm for 8 weeks\n \nPlease register HERE.
