For:  Complicated Grief

Complicated grief is persistent and unrelenting grief that interferes with a person’s life, affecting their daily functioning, relationships, ability to work, and finding meaning in life after the death of a loved one.

This provider-led group is offered as a series of 12 weekly sessions for those experiencing complicated grief. In a supportive setting, participants identify their “stuck” points, learn strategies to address them, and practice activities to help adjust to their loss. Group members benefit from listening, sharing their experiences (to the extent they are comfortable), and being with others who are also experiencing complicated grief. The content in each session builds off prior sessions in the sequence. BHWC staff will meet with those interested in participating to ensure the best fit for their current situation and grief.
