This Dallas-based option is worth considering.

This group is for anyone who feels a loss related to a significant life event. This group will be addressing losses that are often unrecognized by society and are therefore not acknowledged as grief experiences. If you aren’t sure if this group is for you, give us a call and we will be happy to listen to your story and help you decide.
There is no fee for this group. You may attend as many sessions as you wish.
