What is it?

The bereavement support group is a 6-week program based on sharing stories about the deceased and keeping them in your life through shared storytelling and shared grief. It is a non-denominational group, everyone is welcome. It’s not a therapy group; it is a supportive group where you will meet other students who also understand what it is like to be bereaved. 

Who is it for?

Anyone who has experienced the death of a significant person in their life- someone whose death has really changed how you experience the world.  

What can you expect?

There’ll be six meetings across six weeks. We’ll be talking a lot about the deceased, and you’ll be asked to share stories about them, and to introduce them to the group. The group is a safe space where everyone will have a shared experience of significant loss- it can be hard to find people who “get it” about grief, so this group is designed to give you that shared experience.

Free tea, coffee and snacks provided. 

When is it:

The group will be running in February, during semester two. It will be on Tuesdays, between 14:30 and 16:30. 

Who is running it?

The group is facilitated by one senior counsellor, Ruth Miller, and Francis O’Toole from pastoral care.
