Stillwaters
Bereavement Services
There is a growing awareness among
those who care for the bereaved that individual counseling,
support groups and one on one peer support are an appropriate
and effective way to help bereaved people heal. Because they
offer a safe place for people to do the work of mourning, these
services encourage people to reconcile their losses and go on to
find continued meaning in life and living.
Secrets of the
Masculine Side of Healing
As a member of
the Southeast Wisconsin Grief Network and the Waukesha County
Grief Network, Stillwaters invites you to a free community
presentation with Tom Golden, LCSW and author of: "Swallowed by
a Snake: The gift of the Masculine Side of Healing."
Wednesday,
September 29 6:30 - 9:00 p.m.
Knights of
Columbus Hall, 1800 S. 92nd St., West Allis, WI
(between
Greenfield & National)
Free to the
general public, pre-registration is preferred,
please call
Stillwaters at 262-524-4140 to sign-up.
This
presentation is for both men and women.
The masculine
side of healing is often overlooked and/or misunderstood. This
presentation will offer women a glimpse into their own usage of
the masculine side of healing, as well as bring an understanding
about the men and boys in their lives, how they grieve, and how
best to get close to them when they do. The men will learn
about the path toward healing they likely already use regularly
but have never named.
Hope, Healing & Growth
An adult grief support group for those who have lost a loved
one to cancer. This grief support group is designed to help
participants: utilize group support to share and encourage
growth, effectively express and experience the grief journey,
embrace the pain of loss while learning physical, emotional and
spiritual growth, convert the relationship with the person who
died from one of interactive presence to one of appropriate
memory, and relate the death of a loved one into one of new
meaning in the life of the bereaved.

Counseling
Stillwaters offers individual consultations with a trained
professional in the area of grief, bereavement and mourning. No
one can anticipate the emotional and spiritual upheaval a major
loss brings. Individual counseling can help by giving the
bereaved a safe place to express their feelings of grief while
learning some new skills to help cope with and reconcile the
loss and it's impact.
Mentor Match
One very important thing someone can do when going through
the grief process is find emotional support. Support can come
from many different sources; family and friends, support groups,
individual counseling, but one of the most natural sources is
talking with another. The Mentor Match program at Stillwaters
emphasizes the importance of peer support. The program provides
emotional support to those grieving the death of a loved one to
cancer. Volunteers who have experienced their own loss provide
support to the newly bereaved by telephone contacts or in-person
visits, sharing their own personal experiences with grief and
offering one on one emotional support.
