This group is for women in their 50's dealing with all that comes with middle age - My hope is this group will serve as a forum for support in dealing with issues like perimenopause/menopause, caring for aging parents, grief and loss of loved ones, facing our own mortality, recent empty nesters, becoming more of who we want to be and improving the quality of our lives. We all have something to offer even if it isn't apparent to us. The direction of the group will be dependent on the members of t …

After losing my wife of 49 years to cancer on December 27 2011 I find a great need to be with people. The loss has left me with a feeling of great loneliness. Each day is filled with memories of her. I have a hard time going on without her. The more I am alone in my grief the more I weep and pine for her. Having a group of people to share the same loss would be so helpful. I am sure the common bond would help everyone heal.

A meeting space which will allow women to discuss their feelings and experiences after the loss of a mother.  Most of us have lost our mothers in young adulthood and are in our 20s & 30s, though we frequently have women in their 40's-50's and women of any age are encouraged to come. We will speak about the past and celebrate the lives of our mothers - and most importantly the future, while still carrying our mother's love and support with us. This is a place where we will be able to support one …

This is a group for widows/widowers under 40. This group can provide a place to find support through activities, discussions, meals, art, whatever! While there will be plenty of room for conversations, this group will also focus on DOING things and creating a fun in an environment where people might have a shared understanding of the struggles of losing someone at a young age.

Divorced after a long term marriage (18 years), I started up this informal support group to reach out to  others going through divorce-related "stuff" when I was in the thick of things. I needed support myself at the time (still do on occasion, or at least people who get the realities of my life now), and thought that I couldn't be the only person out here in exurbia in the same situation.  Originally when I started the group, I was specifically hoping to bring together those of us who are going …

I recently joined meetup and i think it is a great idea and a way to meet new people and make new friends. I am forming this group because I feel there is a real need for widow/ers who have gone through the grief group process and are looking for something more now. You get to that point and say now what? This is something more enjoyable and fulfilling while still getting some support when you need it. So come out and join some friends you haven't met yet and we will laugh and cry together. You …

The healing power of laughter and humor has been well documented.* Although it may seem counter intuitive for you to laugh about stressful situations, loss and grief, life's challenges at home at work, illness and global issues, you can learn to re-frame and re-focus your views so that you feel more peaceful during the difficult times. One of The American Cancer Society's slogans is "Laugh Anyway!" To that end, you can try to work that concept into your life, too, without having a serious illnes …

You've undoubtedly heard the expression "time heals all wounds." Unfortunately, it isn't true. The truth is, time often makes things worse; wounds that are left untended fester, and time only extends the pain if the problem isn't dealt with. Celebrate Recovery was created to help people overcome life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups through a balanced and engaging program based on Jesus' own teachings: eight principles from the Beatitudes of the New Testament and 12 biblically-based steps to recove …
