Kara

Kara provides bereavement support to children, teens, families and adults. Kara is dedicated to ensuring that therapy services are accessible to the community.

Our vision is to see people of all ages compassionately supported on their journey through grief so they can move toward renewed hope and meaning. Kara services offer emotional support and information to those grieving a death or coping with a terminal illness. Kara provides a safe place to express and normalize feelings of grief, to learn to integrate grief and move forward with renewed hope and meaning. Kara offers both peer support and therapy

Kara peer services are provided by volunteers with experience in healing from their own personal loss; volunteers who are carefully screened, trained and supervised. Donations are gratefully accepted as we do not charge a fee for peer support services. Grief therapy services are provided by interns who have completed their course requirements and are working on their client hours for licensing. Therefore Kara provides services for a reasonable fee and program staff will be happy to discuss the fee schedule with you. Kara does not espouse a particular religion or philosophy. We encourage those we serve to draw strength from their own personal spiritual beliefs, family, friends and other community resources to build sustaining support.

Este grupo es para adultos que han perdido a un ser querido por causas inesperadas, como por ejemplo homicidio, suicidio, accidente, sobredosis, etc. Enfrentar estas muertes es muy devastador, confuso, impactante, pero por sobre todo trágico. Nuestra intención es crear un espacio cálido, respetuoso y compasivo para compartir el impacto y las repercusiones que ha tenido la pérdida de un ser querido de manera inesperada. Los invitamos para elaborar este duelo y experiencia, así como recibir herramientas para ayudarle a transitar y expresar su dolor.

"You don't need solutions. You don't need to move on from your grief. You need someone to see your grief, to acknowledge it. You need someone to hold your hands while you stand there in blinking horror, staring at the hole that was your life. Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried."

- Megan Devine

Let me take your coat

"I only have two hands and so every day I have to decide what I can carry. Regret is a waste of a hand, and so is anger. One hand is almost always reserved for hope. (The other holds tight to you.)

"the world continues to move like nothing has happened. buses still whistle at stoplights, dogs still pull at their leashes, I still need shampoo and the seasons still change. the world continues to spin but for me it has halted, and I keep waiting for it to notice that you're gone."

- Mae Setrova
