One of the hardest parts of grieving is letting yourself actually sit with your feelings. Giving yourself the time and space to really grieve and reflect on your emotions instead of jumping from one task to the next. We understand that it’s hard and it’s uncomfortable but it’s a necessary part of healing.

Grief is an overwhelming experience. There’s so much happening both mentally, physically, and emotionally that it’s hard to know what’s going on and what to expect. Our own Dr. Jo expands on this and gives you a roadmap in this post from the HOPE Blog: https://hopegroups.org/grief-how-do-i-do-this/

Grief can be an incredibly isolating experience which is why we wanted to talk about some of the benefits of joining a grief support group. Grief support groups can provide you with the tools for navigating your grief journey as well as a community and village of support and understanding. Sharing your stories and experiences can help to build community and communication between people of all walks of life.

HOPE Connection offers therapist led grief support groups for spouse and parent loss. Our in person spouse loss groups meet in Los Angeles and our parent loss group meets via zoom! Connect with us by calling (818)788-HOPE(4673) and learn more!

What is a linking object?

A linking object is a symbolic item we hold onto after the loss of a loved one. It might be their sweater, favorite records, books, a day planner, perfume, or even saved voicemails. These meaningful items can bring comfort and help us feel connected while navigating grief.

Finding your linking object is deeply personal. Many people choose something tactile they can hold, smell, hear, or see — because our senses can powerfully access memories. The scent of cologne, the sound of a voice message, or cooking their favorite meal can help us feel close in moments we miss them most.

There is no “right way” to grieve. Holding onto a linking object isn’t about staying stuck — it’s about honoring love and memory while healing.

If you are coping with spouse loss or parent loss and want support in a compassionate, therapist-led setting, HOPE Connection is here for you in the Los Angeles area.

Call (818) 788-HOPE (4673) to learn more and join a HOPE Connection grief support group today.

Every few years we become fascinated by the Summer or Winter Olympic Games. Not only the incredible physical feats and achievements of the athletes but also the incredible stories that accompany them. One story from the Olympics that has touched us is US Figure Skater Maxim Naumov’s, skating just a year after the tragic loss of his parents and other US Figure Skaters in the Flight 5342 crash last year. Are you watching the Olympics this year? Let us know of any other stories that have touched or inspired you in the comments!

Grief has a way of living in the everyday spaces — the empty chair, the quiet mornings, the memories that linger. If you’re missing a spouse or parent, know this: you don’t have to carry it alone. 🤍
At HOPE Connection, our therapist-led grief support groups offer a safe, compassionate space to honor your loss, share your story, and feel understood — right here in the Los Angeles community. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning how to live alongside love and loss. Call (818)788-HOPE(4673) to join one of our groups.
