# Event Details - **Event Name**: Chronic Pain Support Group: Finding the Beauty in the Struggle - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 16 Jul, 2025 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: ➤ A supportive space for those with chronic pain/illness to connect, grieve, share, and heal.About this EventPeople with chronic pain and chronic illness can easily become isolated and this group seeks to be a remedy for that. It will allow people who are suffering to come together and support each other in our body grief and the grief of lost futures/expectations while also focusing on the way forward. The goal is for people to feel less alone in their struggle as well as learn about how to manage their daily lives with the limitations that being in pain brings.My plan is to include a few prepared topics for discussion but to also allow the conversation to flow naturally and to be flexible in how we approach things. I'd like to include opportunities for journaling as well as a guided meditation (assuming the group would be into that/it feels appropriate.)I'd like it to be a place where everyone feels heard and they can communicate their true feelings about how things are going for them without the sugar coating that often happens with healthy friends and relatives.Ultimately, I envision that this space will be a sanctuary where healing and encouragement happen.✨ Event DetailsSaturdaysMarch 21 from 2 to 3 pmApril 11 from 11 am to 12 pmMay 2 from 11 am to 12 pmJune 6 from 11 am to 12 pmFree.
