Is the group is appropriate for someone at my stage?

Q:

Before I join the private support group, it is for only those with fresh grief? I am several years out at this point and have had three rainbow babies. Obviously I still sporadically struggle with my loss and always struggle around anniversary dates. For instance, the recent Grey’s Anatomy storyline was a huge trigger for me. However, I do not want to intrude if my presence is inappropriate for the other members. Is the group is appropriate for someone at my stage?

A:

The group is definitely not only for those who are fresh in their grief. Many members are  two or more years out from their losses. I am sure you would fit right it, and in fact there was a thread about the Grey’s Anatomy episode. Your presence would not be an intrusion. In fact, I think it can be very encouraging for those new in their grief to talk with people who have “been there” and moved forward with their lives and families. Please join us.
