I think that going to group helps with a lot of things. It helps with gaining the control back in our lives by giving us knowledge to help us cope and deal with the fact that life as we knew it has changed forever. Of course having the support of people just like us in a group each week helps us with not feeling so alone inside and now being a different person than we once were. I think that group provides us with a new found family that actually allows us to cry and even laugh sometimes but ultimately finding a way to stop feeling guilty about what happened and allowing ourselves to feel happiness again!
