What's Happening?
Bakken-Young Funeral Home is hosting a virtual grief support group that incorporates mindfulness practices. The program, known as the Mindfulness & Grief System, includes meditation, movement, and self-care as its core components. This initiative aims to help participants honor their grief as a natural response to love and loss, while also promoting self-compassion and resilience. The group meets weekly on Monday evenings from January 26 to March 16, 2026, and is designed to provide a supportive environment for individuals coping with grief.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of mindfulness practices in grief support is significant as it offers a holistic approach to dealing with loss. By focusing on meditation and self-care, participants can develop healthier
coping mechanisms and reduce feelings of self-criticism and shame. This approach not only aids in emotional healing but also enhances overall well-being. As mental health awareness continues to grow, such programs are vital in providing accessible support to those in need, particularly in a virtual format that can reach a wider audience.
