Dealing with the suicide of a loved one is hard enough. Doing it without relying on religion is even harder. We are here to support you in a compassionate, secular way.
The primary focus of a Recovering From Religion support groups is to provide ongoing peer support to individuals as they let go of their religious beliefs.
These groups are free, small group style meetings. No professional therapist is present, group leaders are volunteers trained in peer support. You are not required to give your real name or show your face on camera. You will be invited, but not required to talk about yourself and your experiences.
Be aware that trolls sometimes appear. Your group leader will make every effort to eject anyone behaving badly as quickly as possible.
Extra Support:
RfR has an immense database of well-curated digital resources collected on all topics related to doubt, non-belief, and transition out of religion. www.recoveringfromreligion.org/resources
If you find you need to talk with someone before the meeting date, RfR has a Helpline with phone and online chat for that express purpose.
Go to www.recoveringfromreligion.org to find the phone number for your area or to chat online.
If you’re seeking professional help, we can offer the Secular Therapy Project to provide options to connect with a professional therapist.
