Healing Through Loss: The Stepping Stones

This article represents one approach to the bereavement process—a time-limited, grief-specific bereavement group. The highlights of this process include introduction to the individuals or families, the telephone contact, and individual and bereavement support group work. Bereavement group types are usually explored through a time sequence of an 8-week approach. Adult children, spouses, partners, and parents are included in these types of support groups. Although this article focuses on the time-limited, grief-specific bereavement group experience, quarterly reunions and reflection groups are additional opportunities for the bereaved to share their grief with others.

Key Words: containment • grief • education • time limited • bereavement • group • process
