Grief retreats v counselling

Coping with bereavement
1

I wonder if anyone here has been on a grief retreat? Would you say the experience was more useful than counselling?

Hopefully someone will have some experiences to share, @Whydidhedie. I searched, “grief retreat” and found some posts from other members it might be helpful to read.

Take care :blue_heart:

I suspect that it all depends on what do you do on your retreat. I don’t know, because I’ve not done it. If it is just a chance to sit quietly with my thoughts, that would be the last thing I’d want.
If they provide mindfulness coaching that would be far better. I’d do that!

I’ve also discovered these retreats are incredibly expensive. If it is just sitting with your thoughts, then I can do that for nothing at home.

There is always someone out there who will make money out of any situation. I was looking at some grief retreats online and some were £1000 per day!!
