Grief Share Support Group

I attended the first in 13 sessions tonight with a group of people from all walks of life. The meeting was very therapeutic. Of course when they had us introduce ourselves and talk about our losses, I broke down when I talked about losing my mom three days after Mother's Day. But it felt good to be part of a group where others understand your feelings and the trauma that you experienced. There were quite a few tears shed among the group but I'm happy that I was able to find a group close to home (actually my church organized it). The group focuses on going from mourning to joy. I'm not sure if I will ever get to joy, but I am going to keep an open mind about it and see how it goes.

wish  there's such a 'counseling session ' here in Phil. for it,s unusual to go to a psych even...yup, people who didn't experience the same things might try to comfort you in a not so typical way..spoken words means a lot. Lost mom last 3 yrs ago..father's day..and d/t tragedy...still in the moving on stage i guess...joy...what goal..hoping i'll reach that point even before seeing mom again..

My mom died 4 months ago

My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
