Secular Grief Support Group ONLINE: Grief -- Past, Present, and Future

Guest Speaker: Julie Ditzler will speak on Grief: Past, Present, and Future. Julie is a former nursing home director who lost three siblings to cancer within 2 years.

This grief group is for those who have experienced the recent or not-so-recent death of a loved one. It is a peer-led group for people with no belief in a higher power or the afterlife. Participants are invited to speak about their own loss and share their current challenges with grief. We offer no professional grief counseling.

We meet on-line via Zoom on the first Thursdays of the month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Central Time. We hope to see you then!

Rather than relying on religious beliefs, Humanists cope with grief in various ways, including finding meaning in our loved one’s impact on ourselves and on others, celebrating their lives through sharing and honoring memories, and sharing our stories of grief and loss. We believe that healing is possible, and that in sharing our grief journeys we become more able to reconcile our loss and move toward better days.

These sessions are led and sponsored by HumanistsMN and First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis, a humanist congregation. Please consider supporting one or both of these associations to help us cover our costs and build the humanist movement. Click on the embedded links above to donate or join.
