    SOSL – Community Healing Center

    Posted on May 13, 2011

    Donay lost her husband Jacob to suicide.  Rosza and Aaron also lost their son Aaron to suicide.  After the loss of their loved ones, they found support and healing within the community of SOSL.

    “You heal faster when you can bring things out in the open.”  Rosza

     

    “In that room, they understand what I am going through.  It has definitely helped in my healing process.”  Donay

     
    SOSL Support groups provide a comfortable non-threatening setting to share your experiences and thoughts.  Or you may just want to listen.  But being there with those who have had a similar experience, who can understand in a special way, is a gift that may not be available elsewhere.

    “In this situation (suicide), you just feel alone and being surrounded by other people, knowing they are going through this; they have been through this.  You are not the only ones suffering this way.  There is that feeling of community that really helps.”  Aaron

     

    Anyone who has lost a family member or friend is invited to attend. All groups are free of charge and no prior registration is needed. All of the groups listed on the calendar are conducted by SOSL and are not affiliated with the venue listed, e.g. hospital, community center, church, etc.
