A support group for people in recovery grieving someone they care for, lost to substance use related causes. All are welcome, regardless of the relationship to the person.
The primary focus of The Sun Will Rise Foundation is to provide free peer grief support for those who have experienced the death of someone they care about due to substance use related causes. Not only from overdose, but also from suicide, homicide, accident, and medical complications due to drug/alcohol use. We understand the profound impact that grief can have on individuals, families and peers and we acknowledge the unique challenges and feelings that surround these types of losses. We are here to offer care, compassion, community, understanding, and support. To fulfill this mission, we provide a range of grief support services, including free social get gatherings and multiple monthly in-person and/or online grief support meetings. The groups are open to anyone 18+. Some of these are specialty group meetings that include a grieving grandparent's group, a men's-only group, a multiple loss group, a sibling group, an only child loss group, a partner/spouse loss group, a loss due to suicide, an LGBTQ+ group and a people in recovery grief group. In-person meetings are currently being held in Bridgewater, Charlestown, Quincy, Taunton, Weymouth, and Worcester Massachusetts and Portland Maine. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can connect with others who have had similar experiences and receive the support that they are entitled to without stigma or shame.
