Guidelines for Participation in Caring Connections Grief Groups

Please review the guidelines below
before registering for one of our grief groups.

(The death of a loved one needs to have occurred at least six weeks before beginning a grief group.)

  • I want a safe group to share my feelings and experiences; therefore, I promise confidentiality.


  • I understand the importance of consistency, therefore, I will attend each of the eight week's group meetings.


  • I recognize that my needs are important and in this group I have an opportunity to share.


  • I trust we all have the inner resources to heal from our loss; therefore, I will not interrupt, ask questions, or give advice unless asked.


  • I trust that my silence will be honored if I do not wish to talk.


  • I will allow you your feelings and listen with caring and trust in your process.


  • I heal best when I'm present for myself; therefore, I will not use alcohol or drugs before group.

  • I want my group to start and end on time, therefore I will come on time and leave when the group is over.


  • I have my own faith and belief and will honor all others.

THE MEETING PLACE IS A NON-SMOKING FACILITY
