Grief Processing Group for Those Losing a Loved One to Addiction or Mental Illness

Turning Toward Ambiguous Loss

Unseen Grief: Holding Space for Emotional Absence

Many people experience profound grief when someone they love is no longer emotionally or relationally present because of addiction or mental illness. Even though the person may still be physically alive, the connection you once had can feel lost, leaving you with intense sadness, confusion, anger, and longing. This 8-week therapy group offers a place to name and honor that unseen grief.

When Someone Is Still Here, But No Longer Present

This group offers a safe space to:

Name and honor grief that doesn’t have clear closure
Process the pain of ongoing disconnection
Explore the body’s inheritance of shame, longing, and unresolved anger
Learn tools for emotional containment, boundary setting and nervous system regulation
Release blocked grief with sacred ritual

This group is for you if you’re:

Grieving someone who feels “gone” emotionally due to addiction or mental illness

Navigating difficult mixed emotions without support
Close to someone who is emotionally inconsistent, unavailable, or unable to attune
Caught between hope, resentment, loyalty, and grief

What makes this group different:

Therapist-led for deep emotional processing and somatic integration
Small and intimate — limited to just 4 participants
Carefully curated to ensure strong clinical fit among members
Screening call to explore if this group is the right fit for you
Somatic and symbolic healing through story and ritual
