> It has been over a year since Covid-19 swept through the world. While the death rate is

> recovering our sense of normalcy, security and safety. What comes after? A huge wave
> of grief. If not by Covid-19 losses, we are all experiencing some type of secondary grief,
> including loss of some college experience, work opportunities, building new
> relationships, and family time. Some losses are harder to manage than others.

> ​Grief Support Group
> Mondays 1:30-2:30pm via Zoom
>
> The Grief Support Group is for graduate students who have lost a loved one in recent years and would like a supportive space to grieve. We know how hard it can be to carry on with your many roles and responsibilities after a major loss. Setting aside time to grieve with others who understand can help you heal. In the group, you will be invited to speak about your loved one (at your own pace), about the impacts of the loss and about navigating the broad range of feelings and physical sensations that can be present. There is no one right way to grieve and we will honor the range of ways that each member is journeying through their loss. While there are many kinds of losses that bring up grief, this group is specifically for those whose loved ones have passed away. If you want to find out whether this group could be a good fit for you, please request services at the Wellness Center indicating your interest in the group. One of the group co-facilitators will reach out to you to schedule a time to meet.

>
> Congratulations! You’re the first in your family to go to graduate school. And yet…
> · Do you feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t get how academia works?
> · Are you doubting yourself? Or are you feeling conflicted about being here?
> · Does your family not understand the pressures of being a grad student? Do you ever feel guilty for being here? Embarrassed?
>
> If so, you are not alone. Navigating graduate school can be complex. This group is meant to provide a space for first-generation graduate students to support each other and to share their feelings and experiences.
