Continuar Group is an organization that provides friendship and compasion to parents who have lost a child. Our aim is to support parents towards the positive resolution of their grief caused by the death of a child and promote the physical and mental health of the parents and siblings of the dead child.
Continuar is not a therapeutic group, nor are the sessions therapy sessions. Neverheless the improvement process is promoted as the parents understand the special situation and take advantange of the opportunity to share their feelings in an environment of understanding as they connect with other parents in their mourning.
Besides sharing their pain and efforts to accept the loss, the parents speak of the significant activities that have given each of them a new hope and direction to their lives. Underlying all this, there is a true worry for each other that is not set aside from the painful reality and remembrances but, much on the contrary, holds on to life in the deepest sense assuring that beyond the loss there is a meaningful life recongnizing grief as an expression of love.

SIBLINGS
Siblings have lots of things in common. They have similar experiences and have shared games, love and complicity. These and many other things make the death of a brother or sister so traumatic. Siblings suffer the loss, different from the parents´, but need them to listen to them, feel them anc connect to them in spite of the pain in their hearts.

The siblings group at Continuar, has gone a long way sharing their pain, denial and guilt. They have learned to carry those feelings in a difficult way but the are grateful for having met, in spite of being the death of a brother or sister the cause of their meeting, to keep each other company, to offer their hand in love, help and be of benefit to those who suffer an enormous loss in almost total discretion.
