Heartbeat Grief Support Group - Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County

Heartbeat Grief Support Group

Grief following a suicide is complex and can be overwhelming. When someone we love dies by suicide, we may have many unanswered questions, and may feel a barrage of different emotions, sometimes cycling through multiple within a few minutes at a time or feeling stuck in others for so long we feel like they won’t end. The stigma surrounding suicide can make it difficult to know where to turn with these difficult questions and emotions, often making suicide grief a very isolating experience. ASP’s Heartbeat Grief Support Group is a space for suicide loss survivors to connect with others who understand the journey we’re on and accompany each other through it. This is not a journey you have to go through alone, and we are waiting and ready to hold space for you and support you in whatever ways are helpful. This group is free of charge and drop-ins are welcome, RSVPs are required.
“There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.”
— Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Heartbeat

1st Tuesday (in-person)

2nd Wednesday (virtual)

CARING CONVERSATIONS: Feeling unsure about attending your first Heartbeat and want to establish a familiar face before you participate? Have you been attending group and want to share your story more than you could in a group setting? Just want a free cup of coffee and good conversation with a peer? Connecting with someone who has experienced the same type of loss can be truly impactful. We provide one-on-one peer support and compassionate listening to those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Let us buy you a treat (coffee, tea, ice cream, etc) while we chat.
