Why Choose Grieving Hearts Support Group
Grief is one of life’s most profound challenges. It reshapes our world, alters our routines, and often leaves us feeling isolated in ways that friends and family cannot always understand. In Teesside, the Grieving Hearts Peer to Peer Support Group offers a safe, compassionate space where those experiencing loss can come together, share their journeys, and begin to rebuild resilience. Choosing Grieving Hearts is not simply about attending a group — it is about joining a community that understands, supports, and uplifts.
A Safe and Welcoming Environment
Grieving Hearts meets every Saturday morning at Marton Cricket Club, providing a consistent and reliable space for reflection and connection. The group is designed to be inclusive, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences of loss. Whether you are grieving a parent, partner, child, or friend, you will find empathy and understanding without judgement.
Peer-to-Peer Support
Unlike formal counselling, Grieving Hearts is built on peer-to-peer connection. This means you are surrounded by individuals who have walked similar paths and can offer genuine understanding. Sharing stories, listening to others, and recognising common experiences can be profoundly healing. The group encourages open conversation, but there is no pressure — you can participate at your own pace.
Emotional Resilience and Practical Guidance
Grieving Hearts is not only about emotional support; it also provides practical tools for coping with grief in everyday life. Members exchange strategies for managing anniversaries, navigating holidays, and handling unexpected waves of sadness. The group often shares uplifting quotes, readings, and gentle exercises that help participants find strength in small steps.
Community Connection
Isolation is one of the hardest aspects of grief. By joining Grieving Hearts, you become part of a wider network of people who care. The group fosters friendships that extend beyond Saturday mornings, creating bonds that can support you throughout the week. This sense of belonging is vital for rebuilding confidence and finding hope.
Accessible and Free
Grieving Hearts is free to attend, making it accessible to everyone in the community. There are no barriers of cost or referral — simply turn up and you will be welcomed. This openness reflects the group’s commitment to ensuring that no one has to face grief alone.
