Group Support

Find Comfort, Understanding and a Safe Space to Heal

Grief Support Groups at Middle Path Wellness Collective

Grief changes everything.

It shifts how you move through your days, how you relate to others and how you see yourself and your future. Whether your loss was recent or still echoes months later, grief can feel isolating, overwhelming, and deeply personal, especially when it seems like the world expects you to “be okay” by now.

At Middle Path Wellness Collective, our grief support groups offer a compassionate, therapist-led space where you don’t have to explain, minimize or rush your experience. This is a place to be honest about what you’ve lost, what you miss, and what feels different now.

A Different Kind of Grief Support

Grief support groups at Middle Path are not about fixing you, pushing you forward, or telling you how you should feel. They are about helping you make sense of your grief in a way that honors your relationship, your loss, and your pace.

Our groups are designed to help you:

• Feel less alone in your grief

• Understand the emotional, physical, and relational impact of loss

• Learn tools for coping with waves of grief, triggers, and day-to-day challenges

• Connect with others who “get it” without comparison or pressure

• Find steadiness, meaning, and self-compassion over time

This work isn’t about “getting over it.”
It’s about learning how to carry grief in a way that allows you to keep living, connecting, and breathing again.

Who Our Grief Support Groups Are For

Grief looks different for everyone. Our groups are created for individuals navigating loss who are looking for support, understanding, and community without judgment or platitudes.

You may find a grief support group helpful if:

• You’ve lost a loved one and feel stuck, numb, overwhelmed, or untethered

• Your grief comes in waves that feel unpredictable or hard to manage

• Friends or family don’t quite understand what you’re going through

• You’re tired of hearing “time heals all wounds” or “they wouldn’t want you to be sad”

• You want space to talk - or simply sit - with others who understand loss

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and there is no “right” way to grieve. Wherever you are in your process, you are welcome here.

What to Expect in a Middle Path Grief Support Group

Our grief support groups are facilitated by licensed therapists who specialize in grief, loss, and trauma-informed care. Each group offers structure, safety, and flexibility so you can engage in a way that feels right for you.

In group, you can expect:

• Therapist-led discussions focused on understanding grief and loss

• Gentle guidance around emotional regulation and coping strategies

• Space to share as much or as little as you choose

• A supportive environment rooted in respect, confidentiality, and compassion

• Connection without comparison, judgment, or pressure to “perform” your grief

Some people come ready to talk. Others come to listen. Both are equally valid ways to participate.

Why Grief in a Group Setting Can Be Powerful

Grief often tells us we’re alone, even when we’re not. Group support gently challenges that belief.

Hearing others name feelings you’ve been holding silently can be deeply relieving. Being witnessed in your grief, without advice or fixing, can soften the sense of isolation that loss often brings.

Group support can help normalize:

• The intensity and unpredictability of grief

• Changes in mood, sleep, motivation, and concentration

• Feelings of anger, guilt, relief, sadness, or numbness

• The way grief shows up in relationships and daily life

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Our Approach to Grief Support

Middle Path Wellness Collective takes a trauma-informed, relational approach to grief care. We recognize that grief affects the whole person - emotionally, physically, and relationally.

Our therapists meet you with:

• Compassion rather than urgency

• Curiosity rather than assumptions

• Structure without rigidity

• Support without pressure

We believe grief deserves space, time, and care, not quick fixes.

How Grief Support Groups Fit With Individual Therapy

Some participants join grief groups as a stand-alone support, while others participate alongside individual therapy. Both options are welcome.

Group support can complement individual therapy by:

• Offering community and shared understanding

• Helping you practice expressing grief in a safe setting

• Providing validation from peers who truly understand loss

If you’re unsure what level of support is right for you, we’re happy to help you explore your options.

A Gentle Next Step

Reaching out for grief support can feel daunting, especially when energy is low and emotions are heavy. Taking this step doesn’t mean you’re weak or broken. It means you’re honoring your grief and yourself.

Our grief support groups are here to meet you where you are, without expectations or timelines.

When you’re ready, we’re here to support you.
