“I didn’t think the group would work for me but it did. I have healed a ton with support from these 6 ladies.”
-Heart-to-heart
“There wasn’t a moment where I felt uncomfortable. When I cried everyone was respectful and let me have a moment. I feel like some weight is off my shoulders.”
-Camp Braveheart
“Each and every group member has changed my life forever. I don’t feel so alone going through this. I will never forget this experience and the wonderful people in this group.”
-Blended
“I learned that the grief journey is just that, a journey, it’s not going to be over in a few sessions or a few months, but it’s a journey, a process for the rest of my life. Also, where I am is okay. There is no right or good way to do it. Sitting in it, moving, allowing myself time to grieve is important. As well as allowing my daughter her pain too.”
-TREK (family grief group)
