When Time Isn’t Enough
Some losses linger as the years go by, seeming just as strong as when the grief first hit. As we lose those who've known us in different phases of life or have grown old alongside us, suffering can become an unwelcome companion.
No matter how long ago your loved one passed, you are welcome in this group.
No matter how many loved ones you have in your life today, you are welcome in this group.
Each meeting will offer the opportunity to share your experience, tools for walking more gracefully alongside the pain, and a space where everyone understands that time itself has not healed this heartache.
Scheduled at the beginning of November, this group will span the last two months of the year and the holiday season, which can be an especially difficult time for many in grief.

Group members can expect a confidential, supportive and nin-judgmental space to give and receive support to others who have experienced loss. This is a unique group because loss is not fresh for these members, but it has been carried over several years.
You can expect to be met with compassion and guided by a licensed clinical social worker, Cristina, who will facilitate discussion. The group meets from 1:30-2:30PM for 8 weeks.
Location: 303 Camp Craft Rd Ste 300, Austin TX 78746

This group is for those who have been grieving the loss of a spouse/partner for five years, or more.
Most grief support groups are geared toward those who have experienced a recent loss when grief is fresh and raw. This group is for those who been living with loss over many seasons and continue to navigate life’s changes and phases without your person.
This group is for people who may appear to be doing well on the outside, but feel alone or unseen with the grief they still carry each day.
Navigating aging and growing older without the comfort and security of a companion may be something others do not understand. This group gets it.
This group is for you if you want to be validated and supported right where you are…no matter how long its been since.
