PASS is offering a new support group for survivors of suicide whose loss occurred one year ago or longer. While the passing of time lessens the intense grief, some survivors may find it difficult to continue conversations about their loved one(s) because they are expected to be "over their loss". Often there is a desire/need to continue to honor those who have died but knowing how and when to do this may depend upon the support that is available.
This group will provide encouragement and opportunity to help "reopen" conversations regarding suicide loss, with fellow survivors. Individual grief experiences will be shared, along with discussion related to coping mechanisms and tools that have helped in the grief journey. We hope to cultivate friendships that will carry over outside of the group setting, and perhaps identify other survivors who could benefit from this resource.
Meetings will be held at the PASS office located at 309 W. High Street in Lima. We will meet for one hour. There is no cost for the group. If you are interested in attending, please contact Diane Tegenkamp at dtegenkamp@passaah.org or by calling 419-296-8113.
