Homicide Loss Support Groups

Have you lost someone to homicide?

Grief is a lot of things. It’s punishing. It’s unrelenting. It’s lonely, and it steals your joy. Trying to manage the overwhelming sense of grief can feel impossible, especially when grief is complicated by murder.

When struggling with grief, you may feel as though no one around you understands what you’re going through. Many people who have lost loved ones to homicide find it helpful to meet with a group who understands and shares their experience.

Tennessee Voices for Victims and the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference are working to bring support groups to your area. These groups, led by trained counselors, can help provide connectivity, understanding, a place to vent, a place to address anger and a place to give you the tools you need to create a “new normal” in your life.

Interested in signing up for a group near you?
