Men’s Online Support Group 

I was a co-facilitator of a men’s grief group for an organization called Eric’s House and I highly recommend them. It’s a closed group that’s limited to 8 participants and they meet on zoom every Tuesday for 9 weeks from 6:00-7:30pm MST. If you are interested in signing up for their next group please visit erics house dot org.

Here is more information from the group founder, Greg Eckerman.

Loss of a loved one is devastating. It can drive us into isolation. Loss to addiction, suicide or sudden trauma only increases the complexity of grief—adding layers of guilt, anger, or shame. The masculine griever faces tough challenges. A man’s grief defies all the cultural norms we subject ourselves to: don’t cry, man up, move on…but it’s not the easy way. We must first acknowledge that, while it’s possible that we could get through great loss on our own, it’s difficult to do it alone. The odds of success go way up with good support. Whether you’ve lost a child, sibling, parent or close friend, Eric’s House Men’s groups create a safe space where you can risk sharing what hurts the most in the presence of other men who have their own deep, personal experiences of loss—who will not judge you, presume to “fix” you, invade you or abandon you.
