The Focus Of Womens Spiritual Support Groups

By John Kelly


When it comes to needing help from others, many are afraid to ask. While this is the case, there are a number Womens Spiritual Support Groups which can be of help to women whom are suffering. Whether dealing with issues of health such as Cancer, or grief, these groups can be extremely helpful for women dealing with these and other issues.

Most often, those of a spiritual nature are part of a church or larger spiritual community. Whereas, there are also a number of secular support groups related to a number of issues. In most cases, these focus on issues with regards to lifestyle rather than a spiritual crisis or spiritual needs.

When dealing with questions related to God, grief and loss, it is often best to turn to a spiritual group. Whereas, when dealing with issues related to lifestyle, abuse, anger, domestic violence, rape or other issues, a secular group which focuses on the specific interest can often be of more help. One reason this is the case, is that the group is usually made up of women going through the same or similar circumstance.

While this is the case, isolation often opens doors to those whom are seeking out vulnerable individuals. As such, it is important even when undergoing isolation to stay alert and aware. Otherwise, individuals are likely to take advantage of the situation for personal gain. Women dealing with co-dependency issues are often more vulnerable to these actions than others.

Women whom have been living in the heterosexual world who later come out as lesbian or bisexual are often easy targets for verbal abuse. For example, when walking down the street after coming out and someone calls the individual names, this is actually a crime. As such, it is important the individual notify authorities as soon as possible.

While bisexual women are often labeled as having heterosexual privilege when dating or living with female partners, the discrimination is no different than when a lesbian couple is involved. Married bisexual women are often one of the most discriminated against groups in the LGBTQ+ community. As such, there are also a number Married Bisexual Women groups offering support around the world.

In order to provide a safe space where members of the community can find support, there are a number of LGBTQ+ community centers around the world. There are often groups related to different areas of the community which meet at these locations. As such, when looking for a group, it can often be beneficial to contact the closest center for a calendar of events.

Whether a woman is in a loving monogamous relationship or is polyamorous, the individual deserves to be treated with kindness and respect. Even when people disagree with a person's choice of lifestyle, that does not give one the right to demean and abuse others, whether physically or verbally. When this is the case, the individual can often find a support group related to hate-crimes and homophobia which can often be of assistance.
