Nour runs this group one Tuesday a month at 9am ET.

Grieving is difficult but you don’t have to do it alone. We can experience grief from a loved one passing, but we also grieve for a lot of other reasons. There are challenges that each of us face when we are dealing with loss. It could be  fading of relationships or the disappearance of a life we once knew. 

In the Grief Support Group for Death & Loss, stories intertwine, as we share the personal emotions that go with our experiences. Through these shared stories, we come to realize the universal nature of sorrow and the common yearning for healing through validation.

The group becomes a space of empathy, where both tears and laughter coexist. Here, the burden of grief is shared among those who truly understand. In listening to others, we learn different techniques to help us heal from our own experiences. We understand that grief transcends whatever divides, connecting us through shared human experiences. We are able to put any pretensions to the side and sit amongst others who recognize our pain.  

As stories are exchanged, we learn that the path to healing is as intricate as the grief we bear.

Participating in this shared healing reminds us that we're not alone in our journey. We invite you to join us weekly and witness the power of vulnerability and recognize that acknowledging our losses allows us to reconstruct ourselves with resilience. The grief support group becomes a space of transformation, where pain is understood, and our stories together paint a picture of strength, hope, and unbreakable connections bonded through our shared loss.

​

Nour is passionate about creating a safe, supportive space for individuals on their healing journey. As a Licensed Professional Counseling Associate, she works to help individuals understand and process traumatic experiences with compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of how trauma impacts mental health and well-being. Having gone through her own traumatic experiences, she is deeply driven to advocate for others, offering a space of understanding and hope. She is dedicated to helping individuals process their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. She approaches this group with a collaborative, person-centered mindset, drawing from evidence-based practices like trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness. She has also completed her basic training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has given her a deeper understanding of working with individuals who have experienced trauma. She believes in the importance of meeting each person where they are, honoring their unique story, and empowering them to take steps toward growth and healing at their own pace. Through this group, she hopes to foster a sense of connection and community, where members feel heard, validated, and supported. By creating an environment of trust, non-judgment, and safety, she wants to help individuals explore how their experiences have shaped their lives, develop effective coping strategies, and promote resilience in the context of trauma. “Trauma is not the bad things that have happened to you, but what happens inside of your as a result of what has happens to you.”
