Finding community and the people who can support you in grief is powerful.

It might not even be who you expect.

By being open about your process and your experience with grief, you can usually find that people are more alike than they are different.

By being a safe space where grief is held, you might find a circle you can be held in and hold others in too.

The heartache of grief can come and go.

When grief hits you hard, it is difficult to see anything else.

Take the moments when you are feeling lighter and give yourself the permission to hold space for the smaller things.

You might remember how much they laughed at a certain movie scene, or their favorite food.

Even though the memory might bring those familiar pangs up for you, it’s letting the love you felt for them be the focus for a bit.

This is an important part of healing.

Without it, you are holding it all in until the grief is bigger than you and all you feel is pain to think of them.

Open your heart and let the small things shine enough to let the love flow.

Sometimes the smallest shifts make the biggest difference.

Adding "right now" to the end of how you're feeling can remind your brain that emotions are temporary and they change, they move, and they won't always feel this intense.

Beginning July 27th, I'll be facilitating a new grief group.

Introducing: Partner Loss.

This is for people in their 20's and 30's who have experienced the loss of a partner.

I created this space because there are few spaces like this where you can be among peers who "get it.".

Groups are facilitated by me, Ken Barringer, M.A., LMHC one Monday per month from 6:30pm-7:45pm in Newton, Massachusetts. Our first meeting is July 27th.

Groups are limited in size. Please confirm interest by emailing me at [email protected].

PS. Do you know someone who would be a fit? Please feel free to send them my way.

Losing a partner at this foundational period can create a profound sense of loneliness and isolation. There are few opportunities to find community and connection with peers who “get it.”

Some developmental tasks of those in this age group are achieving financial independence, focusing on career decisions, finding a partner, and negotiating the idea of having a family. Now add grieving to the mix.

The Partner Loss group creates a platform for participants to receive validation, camaraderie, and support of their experience.

WHERE: In person, Newton, MA
WHEN: One Monday per month from 6:30pm-7:45pm

Group faciliated by Ken Barringer, M.A., LMHC. Groups are limited in size.
