EricsHouse

Mission: Our mission at EricsHouse is to help those bereaved by suicide or substance use, offering compassionate support through peer-led individual sessions, support groups, and community connection.

Donations to EricsHouse will be used to increase our post-vention services and provide increase loss survivor support for our Members.

EricsHouse was created to provide specialized grief support to those navigating the traumatic loss of a loved one by suicide or overdose. The grief that is attached is more than sadness, it comes with stigma, judgment, and trauma that doesn't just go away. We offer online support groups, individual care with grief specialists who are trained to deal with traumatic loss, and provide a care plan that allows someone to move forward in their grief. While paralyzing at first, it is possible to find joy and happiness again and a future filled with hope.

Support care plans are designed individually and may include grief companioning, counseling, life coaching, spiritual direction, and a variety of holistic healing modalities. EricsHouse also hosts in-person and informational and educational online webinars, workshops and retreats, along with ongoing activities designed to heal the body, mind, and soul.

"EricsHouse Suicide Loss for Women's group has been a lifesaver. I was able to intentionally and purposefully start my mourning journey for the loss of my 3 brothers that completed suicide. I recently lost my parents as well. Needless to say, I have layers of complicated grief to mourn and work through. The women in this support group held a safe space for me to work through my thoughts of feeling crazy and alone. Meeting each week gave me the strength and courage to enter the wilderness of grief, knowing I had women that understood what I was going through. Having a supportive place without judgment or criticism made all the difference. I was able to go through the first holidays without my entire family with supportive women holding me up along the way. I have advanced through my mourning in a way that allows me to companion others through their loss of loved ones. No one wants to be a member of this group, but when you are, this is the place to land, to heal, and to learn how to mourn through the many stages of grief. " -EricsHouse Member
