Grief Support Groups
Grief is lonely, and everyone grieves in their own way. Often it’s helpful to be with others who are also grieving in their own lonely way. A peer grief support group is a time-tested and effective way to process grief. By sharing and listening to others, we feel less lonely and grief can begin to feel less heavy.
Grief support for BEREAVED ADULTS
In-person grief support groups in Seattle are for anyone grieving a loved one who has died because of physical illness or the aging process. We meet weekly, but do not follow a curriculum, so you can attend whenever you need the support. People experiencing anticipatory grief and those who have experienced a traumatic loss are also welcome here. We meet near Alaska Junction in West Seattle.

Anticipatory Grief Groups
Listening to Grief has partnered with The Kenney to offer a monthly Anticipatory Grief Group.
Also called “pre-grief,” you may be experiencing anticipatory grief if you are expecting a loss that has not yet happened, such as due to a terminal illness, and are grieving in advance.
We meet north of Lincoln Park in West Seattle.

My deepest gratitude to the West Seattle healers who have provided space for the grief support groups: Counseling West Seattle, Mama Be Well, and Nurture Wellbeing. Please consider using their services as you learn to hold your grief and comfort yourself.
