Grief is a normal response to the death of a loved one. Grief indicates our capacity to love and represents the gaping hole we feel when losing a loved one. Working through grief can provide someone with a greater appreciation of life and can restore hope.
People approach bereavement in a variety of ways and this psychotherapy group allows members an opportunity to hear about differing strategies to handle grief. The death of a loved one can lead to a life transition or new life role, and this psychotherapy group can help members adapting to this life change.
Through this visual journaling you can learn to better understand YOUR grief and how it effects every aspect of your life.
Due to licensing restrictions, participants must be in the South Carolina region.
