Children's Groups
The power of a group setting for children comes as they realize they are not the only ones who have experienced a loss. They learn that their feelings are normal as they hear others in the group share. Through a combination of art, play, and discussion, children learn to identify their feelings, gain coping skills, and are encouraged to move forward to a future with hope.
"I learned that I am not alone in my grief."
Parent/Caregiver Groups
While children and teens are in their groups, parents and caregivers meet in their own groups to share their personal grief experiences and also gain tools for parenting grieving children and teens.
"Lost & Found provided support for my kids that they have really needed, and the parent group has given me a safe place to talk about my own grief."
Adult Groups
The power of a group setting for adults comes from the opportunity to meet with others sharing a similar loss in a safe environment, free of judgement or advice. Group members discuss the complex challenges of grief and gain support from others while also learning coping skills.
"When you go to a group, you listen and hear what the other people have to say and realize that you feel the same way. Things start to get a little better for you. There is a validation of your grief and questions that you have are resolved."
Young Adult Groups
Group members discuss the complex challenges of grief in this age group.
"From this grief group experience, I learned that I am not crazy, what I’m experiencing is normal for people who are grieving."
Spouse Loss
Group members share their stories with others who have lost a spouse and learn how to adapt to a new reality.
"Lost & Found provided support for my kids that they have really needed."
Child Loss
This group addresses the unique and very long-lasting struggles resulting from the death of a child.
"Lost & Found has given me the ability to breathe again."
