Sēras reizēm var likt justies ļoti izolēti. Pat ja jums apkārt ir cilvēki, kuri par jums rūpējas, var būt grūti izskaidrot pieredzi, kas šķiet ļoti personiska, vai just, ka citi patiesi saprot, kam jūs ejat cauri. Saikne ar cilvēkiem, kuri piedzīvojuši līdzīga veida zaudējumu, var sniegt piederības sajūtu un atgādināt, ka jums viss nav jāiznes vienam pašam.
Atbalsta grupas rada telpu, kur cilvēki var dalīties pieredzē, domās un emocijās ar citiem, kuri, iespējams, saskārušies ar līdzīgām situācijām. Dažiem cilvēkiem jau vienkārša citu klausīšanās var būt noderīga; citiem savas pieredzes izrunāšana var sniegt atvieglojuma vai apstiprinājuma sajūtu. Jūs varat arī uzzināt dažādus veidus, kā tikt galā, atklāt jaunus atbalsta avotus vai justies brīvāk, runājot par tēmām, kuras ar ģimeni un draugiem apspriest ir grūti.
Nav viena vienīga veida, kā piedalīties atbalsta grupā. Jūs varat izlemt, cik daudz vēlaties dalīties un vai dodat priekšroku vispirms klausīties un tikai pēc tam runāt. Dažas grupas tiekas klātienē, citas notiek tiešsaistē, un tās var būt veidotas ap dažādām pieredzēm, piemēram, sērām pēc tuvinieka zaudējuma, vecāka, partnera, brāļa, māsas vai drauga zaudējuma vai sērām, kas saistītas ar slimību un vēzi. Atrast grupu, kas atbilst jūsu pieredzei, var būt ļoti nozīmīgi.
Pievienošanās atbalsta grupai nenozīmē, ka jums jārunā par visu, ko jūtat, un tas nenozīmē arī to, ka jums sevi ļoti jāidentificē ar citu cilvēku pieredzi. Katram cilvēkam attiecības ar sērām ir citādas. Jūs varat piedalīties tā, kā jums šķiet droši un ērti, un jums vienmēr ir tiesības atkāpties, ja grupa vairs nešķiet noderīga.
Šajā sadaļā ieteiktās grupas ir paredzētas, lai palīdzētu jums iepazīt saiknes un savstarpējā atbalsta iespējas. Ja apsverat iespēju pievienoties grupai, veltiet laiku, lai noskaidrotu, ko tā ietver, kam tā ir paredzēta un vai tās formāts jums šķiet piemērots. Vēršanās pēc atbalsta nav zīme, ka netiekat galā — reizēm citu cilvēku klātbūtne var padarīt sēru pieredzi mazliet mazāk vientuļu.
