Hope Floats - LGBTQ Partner/Spouse Bereavement Support Group

Hope Floats - LGBTQ Partner/Spouse Bereavement Support Group

It’s not unusual for grievers to feel disconnected from the world around them, but for LGBTQ grief and loss, a lack of disconnect can result in increased seclusion and isolation.While the issues faced in grief can be different for everyone, what every griever needs is the feeling of validation, acceptance and support. This group is designed to focus not only on the importance of support, but of finding the RIGHT support. Connecting with others who understand who we are and where we’ve been can help heal the pain of loss. The group is open to any lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender individuals who have experienced the loss of a partner/spouse. Contact Liz McKenna 781-585-4221 Ext 7 to register.

Journey To Hope

Journey To Hope

Journey To Hope is a parent-only grief group, supporting parents who have had a child of any age die due to any cause related to substance use. It was started by two moms in the Blackstone Valley area who met at a vigil held by the NOWA Peer Recovery Support Center in memory of those who lost the battle against SUD. Our goal is to offer one another peer support and understanding without judgment or bias. For our virtual meeting, you can find the link on the NOWA app, https://nowaedm.glideapp.io

Or that your grief has been forgotten. Please join others who understand both your sorrows and your joys–and the complex emotions that accompany both.

Moving forward Parents

Moving forward Parents

We are a group of Mom and Dads (or parent figures) who have lost their child under any circumstances, even woman who have had the loss of a baby via miscarriage. A soul is a soul. We meet every Tuesday at 7 pm via zoom to share our loved ones, our lives and our strengths and our challenges. It is an open meeting, with open discussions. There is usually a subject we discuss from the week before to be able to reflect on. Each week we leave with positive reinforcement's from each other that we are not alone. We can walk forward each day to a good life, a different life, but still a very healthy life with our loved ones still near to our hearts. You do not have to be alone.......ever!

Still Learning, Still Coping (Learn to Cope Group)

Still Learning, Still Coping (Learn to Cope Group)

This is a special Learn To Cope group that, in partnership between Learn To Cope and SADOD, welcomes people who have lost a loved one to a substance-use-related cause and also currently have a loved one who is struggling with substance-use issues (or is abstinent from substances or is engaged in harm-reduction services, etc.). Meeting discussions and guest speakers are on the topics of grief and/or being engaged with someone struggling with substance use. This is a video only meeting (there is no in-person meeting).
