Tugovanje ponekad može djelovati vrlo izolirajuće. Čak i kada oko vas postoje ljudi kojima je stalo do vas, može biti teško objasniti iskustvo koje se čini duboko osobnim ili osjetiti da drugi uistinu razumiju kroz što prolazite. Povezivanje s ljudima koji su doživjeli sličnu vrstu gubitka može pružiti osjećaj pripadnosti i podsjetiti vas da ne morate kroz sve prolaziti sami.
Grupe podrške stvaraju prostor u kojem ljudi mogu dijeliti iskustva, misli i emocije s drugima koji su možda prošli kroz slične situacije. Nekim je ljudima korisno jednostavno slušati druge; drugima razgovor o vlastitom iskustvu može donijeti osjećaj olakšanja ili potvrde. Također možete naučiti različite načine suočavanja, otkriti nove izvore podrške ili se osjećati ugodnije razgovarajući o temama o kojima je teško govoriti s obitelji i prijateljima.
Ne postoji samo jedan način sudjelovanja u grupi podrške. Možete sami odlučiti koliko želite dijeliti i želite li prije govoriti ili prvo slušati. Neke se grupe sastaju uživo, dok se druge održavaju online, a mogu biti organizirane oko različitih iskustava, poput žalovanja, gubitka roditelja, partnera, brata, sestre ili prijatelja, ili tuge povezane s bolešću i rakom. Pronalaženje grupe koja odgovara vašem iskustvu može napraviti razliku.
Pridruživanje grupi podrške ne znači da morate govoriti o svemu što osjećate, niti da se morate snažno poistovjetiti s iskustvima drugih ljudi. Svačiji odnos prema tuzi je drukčiji. Možete sudjelovati na način koji vam djeluje sigurno i ugodno, a uvijek se smijete povući ako vam grupa više ne djeluje korisno.
Grupe predložene u ovom odjeljku namijenjene su tome da vam pomognu istražiti mogućnosti povezivanja i vršnjačke podrške. Ako razmišljate o pridruživanju grupi, odvojite malo vremena da saznate što ona uključuje, kome je namijenjena i odgovara li vam njezin format. Traženje podrške nije znak da se ne nosite sa situacijom — ponekad prisutnost drugih ljudi uz vas može iskustvo tugovanja učiniti malo manje usamljenim.
