But wounds, especially deep ones such as you have suffered can also fester. Allowing this sort of thing to ruminate within your mind & heart is not healthy. Certainly being here on PC can help. But there's no substitute for real life support. I wish you well...  |
I agree about real life support. But be "cautiously optimistic", as in my experience, it has to be the right kind of group. You want it to be at a convenient location, day and time. Then there are the other members to consider, who's running the group, how long it will meet (weeks or months), how long the session is, fees to pay or it's free, etc. There's an intake process too, where they meet you and get your info.
I'm debating this myself now, as I'm looking for a group for some things I'm dealing with. I'm also looking into grief groups, prematurely at this point but inevitable too......
For me, it has sometimes been better for me to "muddle through" than try to find the right group. I've gone to a group a couple of years ago (not a grief group) but I couldn't stand the MFT running the group. It was also too large for the amount of time we had.
But this is just me......By all means a group could work out well for you. Just wanted you to consider all factors, if you go that route. Also, some don't accept "walk-ins", so you have to go through this process of "registering" while going through the grieving process to boot...
