Suicide Loss Bereavement Support Group

Who

This group is open to adult survivors of suicide loss who are age 25 years and older. The loss of a loved one needs to have taken place 6+ months prior to joining the group.

What

The grief of losing a loved one to suicide creates intense feelings that are often hard to describe to someone that has not experienced a suicide loss. There is often more shock, a greater sense of injustice, guilt, and blame, and a heightened sense of helplessness for people who lose a person to suicide. All of these factors can complicate the healing process for survivors. Peer support can be a critical component for many in navigating this journey to healing.

When

This group will meet for 10 sessions occurring every other Saturday from 9:00 – 10:30 am from 10/12/2024 – 2/15/2025.

Where

This group meets in person at Sentier Psychotherapy
670 Cleveland Ave. S.
St. Paul, MN 55116

Why

The purpose of this group is to provide a space for survivors of suicide loss to connect with other survivors of this specific type of loss. Survivors will receive guidance and support from a therapist in navigating and processing their grief.
