You Are Not Alone
Everyone's journey with alcohol and other drugs is different.
Regardless of where you're at, where you've been, or how you got here, if you are grieving the substance-use-related death of someone you cared about deeply, you are welcome here.
All of us who deliver peer grief support to others have also suffered such a tragedy, and our common bond is our grief over the loss of a friend, family member, or anyone who was part of our lives. You are not alone in your pain and sorrow. We are here to help.
We invite you to choose a starting place.
A Grassroots Partnership
Peer Support Community Partners, the company that manages the SADOD project, and The Sun Will Rise (TSWR), the nonprofit project subcontractor, have formed an innovative grassroots partnership through which 20 staff and about 100 volunteers provide Community Peer Grief Support programs across Massachusetts to people bereaved by drug-alcohol-related death.
Services in Massachusetts and Beyond
All in-person trainings and grief support services delivered in-person in Massachusetts are available only to residents of the commonwealth, but all online services are available to anyone.
For example, the PIR Peer Grief Support Group Directory lists two virtual support groups.
