Renewed Journey
On a renewed journey of emotional healing, Journey to Healing’s aids through Grief Support for the Entire Family. Our compassionate program provides a safe haven for families coping with loss, offering a holistic approach to healing and empowering individuals to carry on their grief journey.
Grief Support for the Entire Family
The goal of the emotional healing program is to establish a psychologically safe environment to explore the various things that may impact the process of coping and healing. We strive to aid in healing using artistic expression and providing psycho-education that can be taught to the entire family to promote healthier coping and empower families to advocate for themselves in the various areas that may have been impacted by their experience of loss or traumatic events.
Grief Support meetings are held on the last Wednesday of each month from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm and are facilitated by trained therapists to ensure the best quality care for participants.

Our Comprehensive Support
We support families at any stage of the grief process, recognizing the unique challenges presented by significant grief is difficult and it is something that you can not do alone. Experiences like death, divorce, or separation which are all inevitable and may come from a primary caregiver can challenge us all, especially children.

Our program includes:
Consultation Appointments
Offering guidance to caregivers seeking the best ways to support grieving children.

Providing therapy through art, music, and drama to address the emotional depth of grief.
Family Nights, Field Trips, and Summer Camps
Creating opportunities for bereaved families to gather, connect, and share experiences.

Holiday Help and Burial Support

Grief Resources
Grief is a universal emotional response to loss, encompassing various forms like the loss of a loved one, a job, or a relationship. It’s a natural part of the human experience, but its natural occurrence doesn’t diminish the challenges it presents. Although we may never fully overcome the loss, there are steps one can take to process grief, making life a little easier.
At Journey to Healing, we specialize in grief! Our goal is for you to grow through your grief through coping skills.

Yoga
Grief, an emotional burden held within, can weigh us down over time. Yoga serves as a gentle method to gradually release this emotional tension, preventing it from overwhelming us all at once. Through yoga, the mind finds solace, offering mental self-help tools alongside physical activity, a vital combination for releasing built-up stress and anxiety.
Getting Enough Sleep
Getting enough sleep during a grief cycle can be challenging, given a filled with thoughts about loss. For starters, to foster better sleep, create a conducive environment having calming colors, utilize blackout curtains, and consider essential oils or a white noise machine. Mood music can enhance the ambiance. If sleep remains elusive, seeking comfort by cuddling with a loved one, be it a spouse or pet, has proven to provide a sense of security and comfort.
