Groups for Grief
Join Our 'Living with Loss' Sessions Tailored for
Support Sessions for TU Delft Staff
Guided grief workshops for professionals at TU Delft
Grief does not wait for a convenient moment
A guided group for TU Delft staff. Five sessions, a small group, and time set aside to carry what you are carrying.
Supervising students, keeping research on track, teaching, running a department. The work continues after a loss, and often it is easier to keep going than to stop. Colleagues mean well and ask once. Then the term picks up speed again.
This group is a fixed place in your week where the loss is the subject rather than something you work around. It is closed, confidential, and led by an experienced facilitator. Everyone in the room works at the university, so you can leave the explanations out.
Starting the week of 2 November

About the fee. We ask you to get approval from your manager before you start. The invoice goes to your manager or budget holder at the beginning of the programme, so nothing is charged to you personally.
Anyone on the TU Delft payroll
- Lecturers, professors, researchers, support staff and coordinators.
- People whose loss is recent, and people whose loss is years old and still present.
- Anyone holding grief alongside supervision, teaching or departmental responsibility.
- PhD candidates who would rather sit with staff than with students.
Loss in a broad sense. You are welcome after the death of someone close to you, and equally when a relationship has fallen away in another way: a divorce, a friendship that ended, a home or a country left behind, or a future that turned out differently than you expected.
What the sessions look like
Every group starts with a one-to-one intake. We talk about your loss, what you are looking for and whether this group is the right place for it. What you bring to the sessions afterwards is up to you. Nothing is required, and nobody is asked to perform their grief.
Colleagues who recognise it
A group of people who know what a term feels like, what a deadline costs, and why you kept working.
Room to say it out loud
Grief that has nowhere to go tends to settle in the body and in the work. Here it gets language and attention.
Something to take with you
Ways to hold the loss alongside your role, rather than parking it until the summer break.
Individual coaching if you want it
Some things need more space than a group can offer. One-to-one grief coaching can run alongside the sessions.
Why a group and not a conversation on your own? Experience shows that hearing what someone else carries is enriching, and that the dynamic between people does real work in living with your own loss. That is why we offer this in group form.
How to sign up
