Special Guest Presentation:

DESCRIPTION:

The work of rebuilding our lives after a traumatic event or loss is overwhelming. When we lose someone dear to us, it feels like we have lost a part of ourselves and it can be difficult to even get out of bed in the morning. How do we rebuild what’s left after a traumatic loss? I hope to show ways to re-establish a sense of meaning after trauma, and give honor to the loss you’ve experienced.

At Roger Neilson House (RNH) we recognize that the grief of losing a child is a lifelong experience. We are offering this monthly group for parents to support one another through their grief experience. This group is facilitated by Social Work, and can be attended by any bereaved parent who has previously participated in RNH programming. When at the group, parents can expect a safe space to share their experience with others who understand, and an opportunity to develop friendships. Some sessions may include a specific topic or guest speaker.
