Losing someone you love is heartbreaking. Whether it was expected or not. The hurt is still present. We all process grief differently. It can be hard for those around you who do not understand that you are not trying to stay stuck in the past, but you cannot simply ignore the memory of someone who was once there. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, unresolved grief, anticipatory grief, and trauma. Furthermore, you may feel like you have no one to talk to. At this point, everyone is tired of hearing about your sadness and grief. Additionally, it may feel like you have exhausted your support system, and you do not know where to turn next. You have felt like a burden, but you need support.   

At Elevate You Counseling, our grief therapists understand that recovering from grief and loss is not a linear process. Some days are easier to get through than others, but the memory of your loss still lives on. That is why we offer grief support groups with individuals who have also gone through loss and need a space to recover and heal.   

Common Reasons Individuals Attend our Online Grief Support Group in California

 Grief and loss come with many feelings. It is not simply that you feel sad and misses the person you lost. There may be trauma, unresolved feelings, anxiety, depression, and confusion about what you are feeling.

Here are common reasons people invest in a support group:  

• You feel guilty  
• Experiencing fear  
• You are looking to create a connection  
• Racing thoughts have taken over your peace  
• You feel like a failure 
• Dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma  
• You feel isolated and alone  
• Perhaps, building some coping strategies could help 
• You are looking for a space to feel normal

A Grief Support Group is a Space for You to Heal and Recover in a Safe Environment  

Here is the thing. When we are experiencing loss, no matter how long it has been if we have not received closure, how can we expect to move forward? After losing someone, you may have the support you need for a few weeks, but people begin to move on with their life, and they expect you to do the same. However, it is not that easy. Life is moving and you are stuck in the past, struggling to find a way to find normalcy. Often when we need help, we may invest in work, school, or some other form of distraction that is not giving us the space to process what has happened.   

Furthermore, despite needing help, it can be difficult to receive the support you need when you do not have childcare, you have school, work, or other personal obligations. Additionally, you may perceive going to an online grief support group as a sign that you are weak, or you may fear being labeled by friends and family. However, you deserve the space to work through the massive change in your life. We are here to provide that space for you in group therapy.  

Elevate You Counseling’s Approach to Online Grief Support Groups in California 

At Elevate You Counseling, we know that going to group therapy when you don’t know the other group members may be scary. But our groups are led by qualified grief therapists who are there to provide a safe space for you to share. You are never required to speak if you do not feel comfortable, but everything that happens in our groups will remain confidential. And, you will work with the same group from start to finish.

Our online therapy groups use a technique called psychoeducation and are considered process-orientated. This means we may use a person-centered approach, CBT, or a wide range of other modalities as we take you through elements of basic talk therapy and teaching healthy coping mechanisms that help you thrive after loss. Finding a new normal is important. We want to help you move forward at a pace that works for your specific needs.  

A grief support group offers you support at a time when you need it most. 

Our online support groups are designed to help you work through your grief and define the next steps. Life may look different, but there is a way forward. In group therapy, you will develop greater insight into the problems at hand and have a better understanding of grief and loss. Plus, you will work with group members who can offer social support and share experiences of ways of coping that have been effective for them.
