New Beginnings: EMDR Therapy Group for Grieving Parents

A 3-Week Healing Group for Those Navigating Life After the Loss of a Child

Losing a child is one of the most painful experiences a parent can face. The weight of grief can feel isolating, overwhelming, and deeply disorienting, especially when that loss is sudden or traumatic. This in-person (Edmonton) 3-week EMDR therapy group is designed to gently support parents who are grieving, offering a safe and structured environment to begin healing.

What to Expect

This group integrates EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) tools within a group setting to help regulate overwhelming emotions, reduce trauma symptoms, and process grief in a supportive, shared space. You’ll be guided by a trained therapist who specializes in both EMDR and grief work.

​

Each session includes:

​

  • A compassionate space to express and hold your grief

  • EMDR-informed tools to reduce emotional intensity and distress

  • Connection with other bereaved parents who understand this unique pain

  • Resources to support your healing between sessions, including a workbook with nature-based practices, journal prompts, and reflections
