Open Group Chat for the Grief & Loss Community - Sunday 10
An Open Group Chat for the Grief & Loss Community will take place next Sunday 10 of September in the "Support Session" room. It will be hosted by HealingTalk (me 😀).
Teens: at 4 pm EDT.
Adults: at 6 pm EDT.
This open group chat will allow all participants to speak freely about anything you want to share at the moment. It won't be structured along pre-determined topics.
It will be a safe and friendly environment to express your experiences, thoughts and emotions, to support and learn from each another, ask questions, and share coping strategies that have worked for you.
I hope you can join!
See you there!
Marcelo.

So, it's only the time that changed, compared to previous chat time?
@Jaeteuk
Hi, Jae!
This is a new, different session. The one you are referring to is in another Community, where I am no longer hosting.
I invite you to join me in this session!
All the best,
Marcelo
Oh yes, my bad.. not in my right mind this week.. work had been exhausting. I'll mark my calendar for both sessions then.
@HealingTalk
@Jaeteuk
Thank you, Jae!
I appreciate you much, I would love for you to come to this chat.

@HealingTalk
I am unable to make it to the open chat. I'll be sleeping during those times
@azuladragon34
Hi, Azula!
We can take advantage of our distant timezones, and host at very different hours (could be any day that's convenient to you), to offer comfortable time alternatives for people living in different parts of the world.
I will let you know how things go in terms of attendance, etc. for this first session.
Unfortunately, the "Featured thread" notification functionality is not working now, so I couldn't let know everybody, only those I could tag. I hope it is restored soon.
Please let me know what you think about hosting.
All the best!
Marcelo
Thank you for inviting me Marcello 🤗 I'm sorry but it's midnight in my timezone so I guess I'll be sleeping 😴 😅
@mish3l
Oh, I will miss you, Micaela!
What times of the day are most convenient for you, in EDT? (or you can give me your local time and a big city near you).
I usually have time around 8-11 PM my time (GMT+1 Bratislava) or 3-5PM 7Cups time. But any time before 10PM my time / 4 PM 7Cups time is fine I guess.
* by 7 Cups time I meant EDT
I hope I didn't make a mistake, I'm not very good with times 😅😅
@mish3l
8 pm CEST is 2 PM EDT, 10 pm CEST is 4 PM EDT. Very comfortable times for me. Let's see how this next session goes. We might revert the order next week, making it first adults, then teens, and starting 1 or 2 hours earlier.
@HealingTalk thank you Marcelo for being so considerate. But I don't know what I'd be doing there anyway 😅🙈
@HealingTalk
Could someone help me with this timezone thing please?... idk how it works.....
@iwantacoffee2009
Hi, Jeanine"
Sure!
Tell me a big city near where you live, and I will tell you when the chats will take place, expressed at the time of your place.
@HealingTalk
Asunción, Paraguay
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Brasilia, Brazil
Those are the nearest...
@iwantacoffee2009
Asunción has the same time as EDT. So the times are the same. Teens 4 pm and Adults 6 pm in Asuncion time. The same for all Paraguay
Brasilia and Buenos Aires have 1 hour more so Teens would be 5 pm and Adults 7 pm in their local time. The same for all Argentina and Brazil.
For example, if you are in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, Asuncion is closer than Buenos Aires, but the time is Argentina (Buenos Aires) time. The same with Foz de Iguazu, is Brazil time.
@HealingTalkCool...thank you tho x that
@iwantacoffee2009
You are welcome!
@HealingTalk. Will there be future open chats in grief and loss? Thank you.
@adventurousBranch3786
Yes, Branch!
I might do the next Adult session a bit earlier, as people from Europe told me 6 pm EDT was too late for them, and see how it goes.
After experimenting with the time and according to the attendance, my idea is to do it weekly or bi-weekly always on the same day at the same time.
Tagging @GreenFairie Hi I saw this and thought of you💕
@kawaicat. Here is the post about the grief chat. I think they do it every other week. When I have gone through some rough time grieving I attended grief support meetings and it was helpful for me.
@adventurousBranch3786
Thank you :)
