Death Group Therapy

Group therapy can be offered on an ongoing basis or for a specific number of sessions. In an ongoing group, once the group starts, it continues indefinitely, with some group members completing treatment and leaving the group, and others joining along the way as openings are available in the group. Most of these groups have between six and twelve members, plus the psychologist. There are some psychologists who have had a therapy group running for ten years or more.
When you lose someone or something very precious to you, the grief can be intense. Pain, sad memories, and unanswered questions can haunt you. You may even feel that you'll never be the same - that you'll never laugh or be whole again. Take heart - though there is no way to grieve without pain, there are healthy ways to grieve which allow you to constructively move forward. Don't settle for a life drained of joy - work through your loss and, slowly but surely, you will get better.
Studies have shown that group therapy has been as effective and, depending on the nature of the problem, sometimes even more effective than individual psychotherapy.
