The Chesapeake Life Center provides group support for anyone suffering a loss.
It’s a way to make sure that no matter how a person copes, no one should struggle in isolation.
A few years ago, however, Marie Burgess, a grief therapist, was on the receiving end of grief support. She lost her firstborn son, Harvey, to a rare form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. He died at just 4 years old.
Knowing she couldn’t accept this loss alone, Burgess and her husband joined the parent support group one Saturday a month for two years. A rough but necessary step. Accepting the soul-crushing loss.
