WALK OF COURAGE - a group for Adults whom have lost a Parent - this group meets the first Monday of every month from 6:30PM to 9:00PM.
When someone you love dies, everything in your world changes. Many people believe that they are going crazy, they feel "out of control". These are normal responses to grief. The most beneficial thing that we can do for ourselves is to allow for the experience of our grief, express the emotions that we are experiencing and practice good self care.
Members of a support group typically share their personal experiences and offer one another emotional comfort and moral support. They may also offer practical advice and tips to help you cope with your situation.
- Feeling less lonely, isolated or judged
- Gaining a sense of empowerment and control
- Improving your coping skills and sense of adjustment
- Speaking openly and honestly about your feelings
- Reducing distress, depression or anxiety
- Developing a clearer understanding of what to expect with your loss
- Getting practical advice, suggestions, and information about treatment options
- Comparing notes and resources
Preregistration is required as we like to keep the groups under 12 participants.
Groups are open to adults, over the age of 18 and a fee of $30.00 is charged at the time of service.
All groups are run in South Burnaby and are open to all those whom have suffered a loss through death, regardless of the length of time since the death.
