Adult Grief Support Groups

TRU offers grief support groups to meet the many unique ways that people grieve. Each group is open to the community and most are free of charge. Please consider making a contribution to support these groups:

Registration is required prior to first attendance for all groups.

Several groups meet on an ongoing basis. Others are considered “structured groups” which are held in sessions as opposed to year-round. Structured groups provide education in a structured group format. Early registration is recommended as these groups fill quickly.

Register here or call us at (303) 604-5300 with any questions.

TRU Grief Services will be in contact to discuss availability of current group schedules.  Group capacity at this time is limited to 10 participants for The Newly-Bereaved Group and 8-Week Group.  All others will be placed on waitlist for future time-limited groups.

SUPPORT TRU GRIEF SERVICES

TRU Grief Services offers grief support groups to our community free-of-charge; however, if you are able, we welcome a contribution to help keep our groups sustainable and available to all who are grieving.

Substance Use Loss Group (drop-in group)

This group offers an environment to share the pain and suffering of addiction and the drug-related death of your loved one with others who understand and can identify with your experience. This is safe place to remember, honor, and share the loss of your loved one as you walk the journey of grief. This group meets the 2nd Thursday of each month (online) from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Sudden Loss Grief Support Group (drop-in group)

The sudden, unexpected loss of someone we love is shocking and difficult to comprehend, often for a very long time. This ongoing group, meeting the 4th Monday of each month from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., offers a safe, supportive space in which to navigate the specific challenges and conflicting emotions that accompany sudden loss. The compassion and understanding of others sharing similar experiences is one of the most valuable ways to recognize and honor your journey.

Widowed Senior Grief Support Group (drop-in group)

For senior men and women who have experienced the death of a spouse or partner, held the 4th Wednesday of every month from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Writing Through Grief Support Group

This group is offered periodically and will meet for six or eight consecutive weeks. Loss and writing are both very personal experiences. This class provides the opportunity to blend the two in a safe, non-judgmental setting. Through the use of weekly prompts, members will reflect on the provided writings as a group followed by time for their own individual written responses. Journaling is encouraged. No writing experience is needed. Writings will not be critiqued. Expressing grief through the written word is the intention of the class as members’ journey through loss using this creative form.

Yoga After Loss Support Group

A support group for those who wish to explore grief through the practice of yoga, using breath-work, poses and meditation. This group is offered periodically and will meet in Lafayette as an ongoing group. Offering a body of yoga techniques, this group will provide the opportunity to consciously connect with and experience your grief in a safe and supportive setting. As your practice unfolds, you may experience the gifts of increased strength, flexibility, and awareness. No yoga experience needed.

Look for future programing soon!
