Womens Spiritual Support Groups For Different Needs

By John Kelly


Every woman often goes through a difficult time in life. Whether losing a loved one, a relationship or dealing with abuse, women often need the support of others. In some cases, this can be friends and family. Whereas, in others, Womens Spiritual Support Groups might be a better option.

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.

In some cases, women can often feel isolated when dealing with difficult issues in life. While this is the case, isolating oneself only allows for more pain and anguish over time. Whereas, if the individual can share about what is going on and potentially find help, then the quicker the woman can overcome the challenges and obstacles and get back to a happy and fulfilled life.

In isolating, people often open doors to risk of ongoing pain and anguish. As such, these groups are often open to any women whom are going through these and similar issues. Whether abandonment, accountability, addiction, overeating, codependency, fear, grief, sex, gambling, smoking or other addictive behaviors, there is often a group focusing on that area.

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.

In many areas, bisexual women get labeled as having heterosexual privilege when living or married to man. While this is perceived, it is not always the case. For, many bisexual women living with members of the same-sex often experience the same discrimination, bigotry and homophobia of those in the larger community.

In order to provide a safe space for these individuals, there are often a number of LGBTQ+ support groups around the country. In one case, Biversity Boston offers a group called BiSpace. While this is a mixed group, there are also resources which are related only to women, including the Boston Bisexual Women's Newsletter which provides a great deal of support through articles, editorials, new stories and poetry each quarter.

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.
