Survivors of Violent Loss Program in San Diego, CA is a dedicated organization that provides support and resources for individuals who have experienced the traumatic loss of a loved one due to violence. Led by founder Milena Sellers Phillips and Deborah Dorn, the program offers services such as the Murder Survivors Handbook, The Journey Workbook, and counseling for those affected by violent death. They also organize conferences and events, including the upcoming Traumatic Grief after Violent Dying conference, to bring together national and local leaders and survivors to address the unique challenges faced by those dealing with violent loss.
The program recognizes the importance of remembering and honoring the lives of murder victims through rituals and ceremonies, as words often fail to capture the depth of the experience. Through art, poetry, music, and dance, Survivors of Violent Loss Program aims to provide a platform for expression and healing, strengthening the bonds between individuals and their shattered communities. Their mission is to ensure that the memories of loved ones are not overshadowed by the circumstances of their deaths, but rather celebrated for the way they lived.
