If you have been struggling with your grief and feel hopeless and alone, the "Finding Your Way"
program may be just what you need. "Finding Your Way: A Heart-Centered Approach to Finding Hope
and Healing After Loss" is a new support program from Grief Refuge, starting Nov 8th at 8:00 PM ET /

Finding Your Way was created to
help people who are lonely, lost, angry, or afraid and can help be a guide on the journey. 
Grief Refuge
is putting together a community where everyone can grieve authentically and feel some healing. 

Navigating the uncharted emotional terrain of your grief can be overwhelming, especially when your
friends and family cannot provide the support you need. Still, you shouldn't have to suffer or struggle
alone. 
The rich educational content of the Finding Your Way program is carefully curated from credible
sources to offer you the best of the best in terms of a whole-person, heart-centered approach to
navigating grief and loss. 
This heart-centered approach involves embracing, experiencing, and expressing
the feelings of grief in a way that fully addresses all aspects of your well-being— physically,
emotionally, cognitively, spiritually, and socially. 
Built upon the work of Dr. Alan Wolfelt, each weekly
module in the program expands upon crucial takeaways from his book, 
Understanding Your Grief:
Ten Essential Touchstones for Finding Hope and Healing in Your Heart
.

 The Kentucky Center for Grieving Children and Families
 The Kentucky Center for Grieving Children and Families, Inc. just launched in the fall of 2021 and provides
its community grief services free of charge. Through donations and community support they provide activities
and programs that support Kentucky families as they grieve and heal. KCGCF offers student grief support groups and family/caregiver education and support for youth and families in the following schools in Fayette County, Kentucky. If you are interested ​in having your child join a grief support group, please contact the school’s
Family Resource and Youth Services Center or email kychildrengrieve@gmail.com. 

The KCGCF also works with grieving families to provide community referrals for additional services and
supports, including individual therapy and therapeutic recreation opportunities. The KCGCF offers expert
training in youth bereavement (its hallmarks, trauma-informed strategies for supporting grieving children,
how to support grieving families and encourage resilient parenting). Presentations and training can be
arranged for schools, churches, social service agencies, workplaces, and community groups. In 2022, they
hope to launch free, community-based grief support groups for children and youth ages 4-18, organized by children’s ages. Talk time will be combined with play and other types of creative healing experiences (such
as art, writing, or music). Concurrent parent and caregiver groups will help caregivers understand youth bereavement and offer parenting techniques to strengthen the family as they heal and move forward.

Finding Our Way Men's Support Group
Group meets weekly on Tuesday evenings at 6 PM, MST, starting November 16, 2021
Session Dates: 11/16, 11/23, 11/30, 12/7, 12/14, 12/21, 12/28, 1/4, 1/11

The “Finding Our Way” Men's Support Group hosted by Eric's House will meet on Tuesday evenings at
6:00 PM MST, from November 16th until January 11th. You do not have to live in Phoenix to join this virtual support group. This group focuses on the challenge of integrating your loss to define a new version of yourself, find meaning and purpose, and receive and give support to others. It is open to men who have lost a child,
spouse, sibling, parent, or close friend. Members will empower one another to find the courage to face the
most broken and lost places within themselves, and strive to discover acceptance.


EricsHouse Men’s Groups create a safe space where you can risk sharing your loss and pain in the
presence of other men who have their own ​deep personal experiences of loss – who will not judge
you, presume ​to ‘fix’ you, invade you, or abandon you. 


“Finding Our Way” Group Structure:
- 9 week closed group limited to 12 members. 
- 
Co-facilitated by Greg Eckerman and Ken Slesarik. 
- 
Meetings will be virtual (on-line)
- 
They follow "The Wilderness of Grief – Finding Your Way," by Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D. ​

They welcome new and previous Men’s Group members.  If you have suffered a tragic loss and are struggling
to figure out how to survive, please contact 
Greg (greg@ericshouse.org or 480-734-3423) to learn whether
this group might be right for you. 
 Pre-registration is required! If someone you know is struggling with his
​loss, please gently encourage him to contact Greg, and visit

Meet-Up for Survivors of Murder-Suicide Loss Picture
Meet-Up for Survivors of Murder-Suicide Loss 

You are not alone. After murder-suicide loss survivors may feel isolated and stigmatized. This peer-led group was founded to provide hope and collectively support each other through 
this rare type of loss which, unfortunately, is an everyday occurrence in the United States. They welcome
all survivors of murder-suicide loss, regardless of their relationship to those 
who died. They emphasize welcoming all kinds of survivors of this type of loss
as they 
understand, for many people, you cannot “choose sides.” The loss of multiple people after this type of suicide loss is incredibly complex to navigate. Survivors include, but are not limited to, the following circumstances: sibling and/or step-sibling loss, parental and/or step-parental loss, child or step-child loss, spouse, ex-spouse, partner or ex-partner loss, in-law loss, friend loss, witnesses of murder-suicide with or without direct connections to the victim and/or perpetrator, and attempted murder-suicide survivors. This peer led
group is a hybrid traditional support group and action group.

They welcome those 
interested in either, or both. Their 90 minute format
is conveniently divided to accommodate 
attendees with interests in
traditional support and/or advocacy. 


Brittany Noble McCarthy and Sara Cobb are survivors of murder-suicide loss and the co-founders of this unique support network which launched in 2020 and today has connected survivors across the country. 

The group meets every other Friday via Zoom at 5:00 PM PST/8:00 PM EST.

Contact Brittany at brittanynoblemccarthy@gmail.com or
Sara at 
mygriefconnection@outlook.com if you would like more information. They ask all attendees to complete an initial phone or video
call with one of the group leaders to ensure the environment is a good fit
and to ensure the safety and privacy of all group members. 


​Prerequisites for group participation:
- Must be 18 years of age or older
- Must be currently in professional counseling/therapy, actively
seeking professional 
counseling/therapy, or have a willingness to
​professional counseling/therapy in the future


- Must be willing to share contact information with the group leads
for emergency use only

Survivors of Murder-Suicide Loss Share How You Can Help Support

Picture
Check out the terrific new post on Brittany Noble McCarthy's blog,
"Survivors of Murder-Suicide Loss Share How You Can Help Support," at

https://brittanynoblemccarthy.com/survivors-of-murder-suicide-loss-share-how-you-can-help-support/


Brittany Noble McCarthy is a writer and advocate for two largely misunderstood areas: the life of military
families and survivors of murder-suicide loss. In addition to pieces published with the Tragedy Assistance
Program for Survivors (TAPS)
 and The Kentucky Derby Museum. Brittany is the co-founder of a
murder-suicide loss support group, along with fellow survivor My Grief Connection founder Sara J. Cobb,
and has connected with survivors across the country. She holds a Master’s Degree in Public Communication,
and is a certified Peer Mentor with TAPS. Brittany has participated in numerous grief and suicide
workshops with TAPS and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. She has also connected
with leading researchers in the field of suicidology and community violence.


This new post was co-written by several murder-suicide loss survivors, including Brittany & Sara,
with the intent of helping educate those in survivors’ support systems. In it, they share what would
have been most helpful – and what was not helpful – after their initial loss. They have joined in a
single voice that they hope reflects anyone who has experienced the tragic loss of a loved one to
murder-suicide or any sensationalized, traumatic loss. They cannot and do not speak for all survivors,
but if you are a survivor of murder-suicide loss, they hope you know you are not alone.


If you are a survivor of murder-suicide loss and are interested in connecting with other survivors for
support and/or direction to resources, please reach out to either Brittany or Sara via email for
information about their Survivors of Murder-Suicide Loss Virtual Support Group. This private support
group meets twice monthly via Zoom to share our stories, encourage and support one another.
