Losing a loved one to suicide is a traumatic experience. Emotional reactions are often complex, and people may find that they are experiencing a bewildering range of feelings including guilt, anger, shame, rejection, sadness, and fear. If you have lost a loved one to suicide, you don’t have to grieve alone. This group offers a supportive and safe environment for adults to share and connect with others who have lost a friend or family member to suicide.
The group is facilitated by Shanna Hawkins, LBSW and Foundation 2 Crisis Services crisis care provider. Shanna can be reached at shawkins@foundation2.org or 319-247-0030.
Adults (ages 18+) who have lost a friend or family member to suicide. Survivors at any stage of their grieving process are welcome.
The group meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month from 6-7:30 p.m. at Foundation 2 Crisis Services, 305 2nd Ave SE in Downtown Cedar Rapids.
