What to Expect

Our Grief Group follows a thoughtful and engaging format designed to promote healing and understanding:

1. Group Reading: We read together from “Unf*ck Your Grief” by Dr. Faith Harper, a book known for its honest and practical approach to dealing with loss.
2. Journaling: We spend 15 minutes writing in response to guided prompts. This dedicated time encourages personal reflection and helps process emotions.

Remember, there’s no “right” way to grieve, and healing is not a linear process. Whether you’re dealing with recent loss or long-term grief, whether you want to share or simply listen, you’re welcome at our Grief Group.

Taking the first step can be challenging, but you don’t have to face grief alone. Join us at Radness Ensues or online every 2nd and 4th Monday. Together, we can navigate the complex terrain of loss and find pathways to healing.
