Grief Recovery is a six week seminar designed to provide comfort and support for those going through the pain of loss.

To serve the metro Orlando area, grief support programs are held at various locations.

You Don't Have To Do This Alone

When you lose someone you love, it can be very hard to sort out your feelings. Trying to work through your grief alone and without the support of others is extremely difficult. Even friends and family members cannot always provide all the support and help you desire. Sometimes you need someone who can help you deal with your grief and work toward resolution.

Grief Recovery, can help you face your feelings and work through them, helping you to accept death and regain a commitment to living. The program's informal meetings provide information and answers to your questions, as well as support, comfort and guidance.

Although group sessions are headed by a Florida Hospital chaplain, they are guided by the needs and desires of the participants. You are encouraged to confront your situation openly and honestly and to deal with it in a positive way. Although you will be encouraged to talk about your feelings, you will not be pressured to do so.

By sharing your thoughts and experiences with others who are experiencing grief, you can face the cause of your grief, examine the effects on your life, and work through problems constructively. Group support can help you cope during the days of pain, loneliness and helplessness. It can help you heal.

Grief - A Response to Loss

Dealing with the loss of a loved one is probably one of the most difficult challenges you will endure in a lifetime. You may not know what to expect when someone very close to you dies. You may feel denial, isolation, anger, guilt, or depression.

What you are feeling is grief, the human response to loss. Each of us experiences grief differently:

Death is not something any of us can easily accept. But it doesn't go away if you ignore it. The expression of grief helps you to accept death and mourn completely. It also helps you to heal, allowing you to live again fully.

Grieving is healthy and normal, It's a healing process essential to your well-being and for continuing life. But grief takes time; it can last several days or weeks, or even several years. It also involves work and pain.

You can resolve your grief sooner and more successfully if you understand, accept and display your grief rather than deny it. You shouldn't try to protect yourself or others from the pain; this only prolongs the process. It is important to face death straightforwardly in order to deal with it positively.
