Offered by Hospice of the Valley, our Grief Healing Discussion Groups site is specifically designed to address your individual needs. You can participate in forums that are separate and distinct from one another, according to your specific kind of loss: the loss of a spouse, partner or significant other; the loss of a child, parent, grandparent, sibling or friend; or the loss of a cherished companion animal. Also included are forums for behaviors in bereavement; anticipatory grief and mourning; teens talking to teens; poetry of grief and loss; the latest news; general grief and loss topics; and new beginnings. Moderated by certified hospice bereavement counselors, these forums are privately administered to ensure the highest level of quality, safety and security for our participants. Membership is free, but will require that you register with a unique user name and secret password of your own choosing. We hope that you will decide to join us! Simply click on Grief Healing Discussion Groups, then click on "Register" next to the "Welcome Guest" greeting at the top of the page, and follow the instructions there. (After you register, remember to bookmark the location as one of your favorite places. Use your browser's "Back" button to return to this page.) Why offer
on-line discussion groups? Messages will be moderated for appropriateness, and we reserve the right to remove any posting deemed to be repetitive, inappropriate, objectionable, insulting, disrespectful or intolerant of another's loss or point of view. Disagreements are acceptable, but our visitors are expected to treat one another with all the dignity, respect and caring we all deserve. We are sensitive to the wide variety of cultural practices and spiritual beliefs that make up our entire membership. Since everyone's experience of grief is unique to the individual, and our members may be at different places in their own grief journey, we realize that what is comforting to one person could be experienced as offensive to someone else. When we share with one another, we recognize that whatever is said to one person is intended to be read by everyone. If we have something to say to one person that cannot or should not be shared with everyone, we must consider carefully whether it should be said at all. We do not share any personal information that we don't want everyone else to know (phone numbers, addresses, etc.) Product promotion and other forms of advertising are not permitted on the site. |
