Grief Support Group
The goal of this group is to provide support to those going through grief no matter how old or new. Whether your loss is recent or 10 years ago, this space is for you. Grief doesn’t have a set timer on when it ends, but rather is incorporated into your life.. This will be a space for you to share your story and feelings and listen to others as well.
About the event
Rebecca Poulsen, an expat from the USA, is hosting a grief support group at IHL. During her time in Belgium, she has had her fair share of losses. From losing her father suddenly, a niece unexpectedly, a grandmother, a friend, and family pets, she has learned a lot about grief.
She hopes to create a space that provides some comfort and connection to those going through a difficult loss.
NOTE: Rebecca is not a certified therapist but will moderate this group and create space for people to share their stories. While not a therapist herself, she has attended many therapy sessions and has gained a number of skills when it comes to dealing with and managing grief. She hopes to share these skills with those who attend the group.
By attending this group, you are not obligated to share your story. If you wish to come and simply listen, this space is for you. You only need to share your story when you feel comfortable and ready.
