Onward Group (free)

The Onward group meets monthly on Zoom and supports people directly or indirectly affected by cancer who are working through grief.

There are many types of grief, including but not limited to:

  • coping with one’s own potential death
  • coping with the death of a loved one
  • loss of health
  • loss of financial stability
  • loss of job or role
  • loss of status
  • divorce or relationship breakdown
  • moving house
  • loss of a pet

Facing one or multiple sources of grief alone – either because we don’t want to tell friends and family the same story repeatedly or because we fear insensitive remarks – can be especially hard.

The Onward group accepts you unconditionally and offers a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment. You can meet with Onward for as long as you need to, and in time you will be ready to move forward on a new path.

Contact us for meeting schedule and more information.
