Compassion Through Loss Support Group
A Gentle Space for Grief
Have you experienced the loss of someone close to your heart? Grief can feel overwhelming, heavy, and isolating. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, the pain of losing someone you love can be hard to carry alone.
Compassion Through Loss is a gentle, peer-led grief support group in SE19 offering a safe and welcoming space to reflect, share, and simply be with others who understand.
You are welcome, just as you are.
About the Support Group
Compassion Through Loss is a monthly, peer-led grief support group in SE19 for anyone who has experienced the loss of a loved one.
When you join us, you can expect:
🤝 A safe and supportive environment
🧡 Compassionate, non-judgemental listening
🕯️ Time for quiet reflection and optional prayer
🌿 A calm, respectful space grounded in shared experience
There is no pressure to speak. You may share as much or as little as feels right. Simply being present is enough. Together, we seek light in the midst of loss and strength in community.
This is not a counselling session, but a gentle, welcoming space where people can gather in mutual understanding. Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, you are invited to come just as you are.
