Support group for those who have lost a partner

Do you ever talk to anyone else about your loss?

Losing a partner is a life-changing experience. You may find that you feel the need to share your story, but aren’t quite sure with whom. That is why Amaryllis, in collaboration with Sichtpunt – the centre for life’s big questions in Friesland – is organising a support group specifically for people who have lost their partner.

In this group, you’ll meet others who have been through the same experience. Under professional guidance, you’ll talk to others in a similar situation about topics such as: what grief actually is, what gives you strength, how to deal with reactions from those around you, and how to move forward. 

Practical information:
The Partner Loss Support Group consists of six sessions. Participation is free of charge.
There are two intake periods each year: in the spring and in the autumn.

Meetings in autumn 2026
The meetings in autumn 2026 will take place on Wednesday afternoons: 

• Kick-off meeting on 14 October
  Continued from:

Are you unsure whether this group is right for you, or do you have any other questions about bereavement? Please feel free to contact one of our social workers by telephone, with no obligation. We’d be happy to tell you more during a telephone intake.

Talking things through together helps. You’re very welcome!
