Groups

When someone you love dies, it can feel like the world has shifted beneath your feet. Even with people around, grief can be isolating—like no one quite understands what you're carrying. Sometimes, you're the one holding everything together for others, staying strong because others need you to be.  This group is a place to lay some of that burden down.

In the company of others who are also grieving, there is room to breathe, to speak (or not speak), and to feel without pressure or judgment. You’ll be met with care, respect, and the simple healing power of being truly heard.

‍

This group offers support and allows you to connect to others. You do not need to grieve alone.

Caring for others can be deeply meaningful and deeply exhausting.

If you're supporting a loved one through illness, disability, aging, or mental health challenges, you may find yourself giving so much that there's little space left for your own needs. This group is a place to lay some of that weight down.

There’s no agenda, no pressure to have it all figured out. Just a welcoming circle of fellow caregivers, guided by a thoughtful facilitator, where you can share honestly, listen deeply, and be reminded that you are not alone.

Come as you are. There’s strength in showing up.

Participant Feedback

FOUR STARS!!!

‍

Simply realizing that other people are struggling with similar issues was very valuable.  Reinforcing that it’s okay to struggle when I’m not “the one with the problem”

‍

Many people at church feel “invisible,” with not much energy to reach out.  This felt like a great balance between formal care and informal connection.

‍

I appreciated Libby’s listening.  She made sure everyone was heard and managed the rhythm of the group very well.
