The Mind Clinic is now offering a support group for people who are grieving.
If you’ve lost someone you love and you are struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, anger and disbelief, this group is for you. If you are feeling isolated and having trouble sharing your grief with others, feeling pressure to move on, finding that your friends and family don’t know what to say and you’re not sure where to turn, this group can help. Sharing stories and connecting with other grieving people in a safe space helps to normalise the experience and find strength, as well as learn strategies for hope and meaning.
The group will explore topics such as:
-
What is grief? How grief affects our body and mind
-
Myths about grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are often described as the natural stages of grief. It can be challenging when our reactions don’t follow that path
-
How should we feel and behave? Social expectations can leave us isolated in our pain
-
How to get the support we need
-
Strategies to help us make meaning of our experience and find hope
The small group will meet once a week for 8 weeks and is closed, meaning that all members start and finish the group at the same time.
Where: The Mind Clinic in Mosman.
When: Monday 6pm to 8pm
*Note: The group will be culturally sensitive and inclusive,
non-religious and non-denominational
