Cremations

After your loved one’s cremation services in Wheat Ridge, CO., it can sometimes be difficult to know where to go to get help. You are grieving and going through a very difficult time. Your friends and family have the best of intentions, but just may not be able to help. They may struggle to find the right things to say or do. Because of this, you may find that you begin to isolate and seclude yourself from others. After all, it’s hard to be around other people that just don’t understand what you are feeling.

In times like these, you may need to surround yourself with people who are also grieving the loss of a loved one. People who understand the feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, and loss you may be experiencing.

Reaching out and finding a support group you can connect with can really help you start to heal. Luckily, today, there are a ton of options both for in-person groups as well as online. Before we talk about where to find these groups, let’s first talk about how in-person and online groups differ and which one might work best for you.

Should I Attend In-Person or Online?

Both in-person and online grief support groups can be amazing resources to help you in this difficult time. However, since these formats differ, some people may prefer one over the other.

For example, with in-person groups, you can create more of a connection with the other members of the group. You may even make friends with some of them and do things together outside of the group. However, these groups are held at a set day and time so if you have a busy schedule, it may be difficult to attend.

On the flip side, while online groups don’t allow that in-person connection, many, like Facebook groups, allow you to post and be involved anytime day or night. So, if you have a hectic schedule, a group like this where you can “pop in” when you have time, might be helpful.

Once you decide which option may be best for you, here are some places to contact :

  • Churches (In-person) – Many churches offer a variety of in-person groups and counseling. If you are a current member of a church, reach out to them and ask if there is anything available.
