Grief Group

Are you grieving the loss of someone who died in the mass violence event on 10/25/23? Perhaps they are a family member, friend, or loved one. You may feel sad, angry, numb, confused, and many other emotions. You may act differently from what you normally would. There is no wrong way to grieve, it is a complex process. Please join us in group to discuss, process, learn, and share with others who are also experiencing grief. If you have questions, or are unsure if this group is for you, please reach out to us at info@maineresiliencycenter.org or by phone at 207-515-3930.
