Grief & Loss Club Headquarters
Ranked #164,280 in Healthy Living, #1,648,093 overall
The Grief & Loss Club is for lenses that have information, resources and support to anyone grieving a loss.
The Grief & Loss Club is one that people do not choose to join, rather it is a club that their experience of grief has given them entrance.
This Group is open to lenses that provide information and resources for people grieving a loss.
- Loss covers topics such as illness, death, dying, divorce, loss of a pet and the aftermath of the loss - the grief response.
- Grief and the grief response covers topics that include funerals, memorials, obituaries, grief and bereavement gifts, organ donation and coping strategies.
* There may be others that I have not included. Contact me with your ideas.
Please read the "How to Join" section below for more information.

This group absolutely qualifies for the the great squidoo groups lensography :) Just added it. I really think this is an important topic and the size is just right in my opinion (who needs groups with hundreds of members anyhow?). Small is beautiful.

Thank you so much, Griefdoc, for inviting me to join this group. I'm still pretty new to Squidoo, and hadn't yet found my way here. I sincerely hope my experience with my miscarriage will offer a bit of hope and encouragement to someone else who may experience a similiar situation. I look forward to exploring the other lenses here. Have a blessed day! ~ Tracy
