Welcome to the Community Forum. The Community Group is a safe and open space to support each other and live our new life in the healthiest possible way.
As we remember the love ones that have move on from this world, lets honor those (including ourselves) who are left behind and are facing and living through grief. Here’s to building a community. Thank you in advance for your Trust to share your grief and where you are.
A few Guiding Principles as we Post in the Forum and support each other:
- This is an OPEN and SAFE place, without criticism or judgement. (e.g. Helpful: “I’m sorry for your loss/ pain…” vs. “I’m surprised that you’re still going through that…” <- Not relevant to hold space)
- We HOLD SPACE for one of another – this is to provide an outlet for the taboo subject of grieving,
- We recognized that We Are Not Alone in our feelings and/or emotions
- As we POST, we Trust we won’t be judge in our expressions
- As we READ, we won’t judge others in our responses, so that people can post open and honest feelings
- If you don’t know what to say but are moved: SEND Virtual Hugs and/or Virtual Shoulders to let others lean on you
Lastly, We Are a Community of Grievers. Comments/abuse will be monitored and removed if deemed unhelpful to the community because we know that dark place and the last thing we need is that crazy feeling of attack for feeling the way we feel (see the first bullet). Let’s not forget that as we Emerge Out of that dark place, we maintain Kindness, Compassion, and Empathy for one another as we Embrace Grief and Step into Fulfilling our Lives.
-Here’s to Living!
