You are not alone. WE can help. Grief after loss of a loved one through substance use whether from accidental overdose, drug induced suicide, or murder surrounding addictive behaviors is a unique and lonely grief. Our society treats these losses differently from other deaths and there is often judgement and blame from those around us. Our grief support groups address the myriad of emotions connected to this special loss so that we are not left feeling more isolated and lonelier. Hope After Loss Groups are free and meet every Monday rotating between three locations (Meriden, Colchester, Rocky Hill) email ana@tricircle.org for meeting invite.
