The Seattle Divorce Support Group can be helpful if:

• you live in Seattle and are separating from or divorcing a partner or spouse.
• you want a supportive place to talk, in person, about the feelings (fear, sadness, anger, resentment, etc.) associated with the loss. 
• you're struggling to manage the challenges of co-parenting. 
• you feel lonely or isolated around people whose partnerships are still intact. 
• you feel concerned about losing other relationships in your life (ex in-laws, mutual friends, etc.).
• your current support system either does not understand or has reached their limit with divorce-related feelings and conversation.
• you want to build a supportive social network--one that is uniquely your own--with others who understand how you feel.
• you want to learn from and provide support for others who are traveling the separation/divorce path.

The transition between a familiar past and an uncertain future is fraught with complex emotions.  The frequency and intensity our feelings can cause us to question our sanity.  Not only are these feelings normal, they are helping us create the space that's needed for new connections to develop. It is in that space that an in-person divorce group support can be most useful.

I hope you'll consider joining our community. 

Seattle Divorce Support Group FAQs

What is the Seattle In-person Grief Support Group? The group is a safe, supportive place to explore the complex feelings associated with separation and/or divorce. Together, we will support one another through the challenges of this time. We will also celebrate each other's accomplishments and explore one another's future hopes and dreams.

​Is the group open to all genders? Yes.

My partner and I are not yet separated and there is a chance we may reconcile. Is the group a good fit for me? Group conversations will be tailored to individuals who are currently separated and/or newly divorced. Hence, the group would not be an appropriate fit for those who are currently partnered and considering reconciliation.
