Finding Support Through Grief

Grief doesn’t come with a manual — and sometimes, the hardest part is feeling like you have to carry it alone. Whether you're a teen, a young adult, or the parent of someone who's grieving, support is available this fall through allcove Beach Cities and Taking Time.

These groups aren’t therapy sessions or lectures. They’re spaces to be seen, heard, and supported by others who understand what it means to lose someone meaningful.

Why Join a Grief Support Group?

After a death, it’s normal to feel like the world keeps spinning while you’re standing still. What you show on the outside might not match what’s happening inside. These groups offer a safe place to talk, cry, listen, and connect with others who are walking a similar path.

Many participants have said their support group was the one thing that helped them navigate one of the most painful periods in their lives. If you're thinking about it — this might be the right season to give it a try.
