Hi Everybody. As trauma survivors, most of us know, only too well, how hard it can be to cope with loneliness: our battles with grief, self-isolation & moodiness can drain our energy & challenge our quality of life. Truth is, too much ‘time alone’ can cause even the strongest people to sink into despair. Why struggle by yourself, when here at Sharewell, you can enjoy the caring connections & support that you deserve? In these sessions, I’ll read a thoughtful quote & we’ll each have a chance to share whatever challenges come up. If there’s enough time, we can also explore ways to relax more, versus ‘tense up’ or ‘run away’ from difficult feelings like loneliness. Hopefully, a 5pm (West Coast) time slot will allow people in other time zones to join us. Looking forward to seeing you there!

This is a very safe space for any and everyone. For a brief moment we are going to come together and pour our hearts out. The session will not be a long session but very effective one. We are giving ourselves 60 minutes to sing, scream, laugh, holler, dance and cry about our grief or any circumstances we are dealing with. In our midweek check-in, we are here to check our temperature. How are you doing?
Understanding grief
Grief isn’t linear, and it doesn’t follow a set timeline. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or a way of life, the emotional weight can feel isolating and hard to explain to others. Peer support offers comfort in shared mourning. It’s a space where you don’t have to be okay — where your feelings are welcomed and validated. Together, you honor loss, share coping strategies, and find moments of hope in the presence of others who truly understand.
How peer support helps with grief
Support matters in grief because loss can be deeply disorienting and isolating. Being with peers who understand grief can reduce loneliness, make room for complex emotions, and help you feel less pressure to “move on” before you are ready.
