Frequently Asked Questions

This 1-hour group workshop is designed to provide a safe space where you can openly grieve during the holiday season. It aims to offer comfort, connection, and practical coping tools in the company of others who are also experiencing loss.

This group is for anyone finding the holidays challenging due to loss. This includes those mourning a death, feeling lonely, facing illness or addiction, estranged from family, or carrying the weight of various life difficulties. All forms of grief and struggle are welcome here.

During the session, you'll have the opportunity to share stories and feelings in a safe environment. We'll also engage in guided meditation and mindfulness, and create memory ornaments or keepsakes to honor loved ones. The group will also discuss honest strategies for navigating the season, including setting realistic expectations and boundaries.

You'll leave with practical coping strategies and self-care practices tailored for the holiday season. The workshop will help you find meaningful ways to honor your loved one that feel authentic to you, and you'll gain the comforting knowledge that you are not alone in finding this time of year difficult.

We are offering two limited-spot sessions for the 'Grief in the Holiday Support' workshop. You can choose to attend on December 9th from 7-8 PM or December 12th from 3-4 PM. We encourage you to register soon as spots are limited!

The private pay investment for the workshop is $30 per session. We also accept a wide range of insurance plans, including Aetna, Ambetter, BCBS, Cigna, Coordinated Care, First Choice, Kaiser PPO, LifeWise, Molina Medicaid, Molina Marketplace, Premera, and Regence.

During the holidays, the absence of a loved one can feel more pronounced due to traditions, gatherings, and the general expectation of joy. This can manifest as exhaustion, irritability, dreading social invitations, or feeling the need to 'act fine' while inwardly struggling. The group acknowledges that these feelings are a normal part of grieving during this time.
