About The Format

This program can be taught once a week for 8 weeks or twice a week for 4 weeks. There are 2-3 days in between sessions if offered twice a week. Each session is approximately 2 hours long. There is reading and assignments in between sessions. New participants can join on sessions 1 or 2; after session 2 the group is closed. GRM Support Groups are not drop in style groups. All GRM programs are confidential, structured and action oriented.

A Note From The Presenter:

Unpaid family caregivers often experience many forms of grief and loss long before, and sometimes without, the death of a loved one. Caregiving can bring ongoing changes to relationships, identity, routines, roles, hopes for the future, financial stability, personal freedom, and emotional well-being. Many caregivers also experience ambiguous grief and loss, where a loved one may still be physically present but emotionally, cognitively, or behaviorally changed due to mental illness, substance use disorder, dementia, traumatic brain injury, chronic illness, or disability. These losses are real, cumulative, and often carried quietly over time.

These online GRM sessions are hosted by Courage to Caregivers (https://www.couragetocaregivers.org/) and start on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Nella Durinda Levenhagen Foundation, residents of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, can participate at no cost. A fee-based option is offered for those outside Cuyahoga County.

Registration is available through the Grief Recovery Support Group registration portal: https://www.couragetocaregivers.org/grief-recovery-support-group
