Scenario

When grief support groups develop at different paces

Our grief support group formed after we all lost spouses and while we started from the same devastating place, we're now months in and some people are finding hope and meaning while others of us are still in the darkness, and the group is fracturing along these lines. Those who are 'healing' want to focus on growth and those still suffering feel abandoned and misunderstood.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

People united by loss are discovering that shared suffering doesn't guarantee shared healing.
