Wilmington NC Grief Support Group: One of the best things about attending a grief support group is the reminder that you are not alone. Grief can feel very lonely and isolating, especially when no one else around you seem to be grieving. Although no two people experience grief in the exact same way, by attending a support group you may find that other people have experiences, feelings, and struggles that are like your own. When you feel totally alone and misunderstood by the world, the support group community can provide you with a haven of understanding. The meetings are for anyone struggling with grief of any kind — family, friends, pet companion, job, housing, marriage, kids, disease, and finances.
