A Safe, Welcoming Space for Women Navigating Loss
Your grief is yours alone — but you don’t have to carry it alone. Our in-person peer support group is an intentionally carved out space for women who want to honor the love in their loss, feel their feelings, & create authentic connection with other grievers. This peer support group helps grieving women to connect, share, and witness each other’s experiences with compassion and without judgment.
Whether your loss is recent or years past, whether it’s the death of a beloved person or pet, the onset or progression of a life-altering illness, a perinatal loss, or another mortality-related loss that changed your life—you are welcome here. Not too much, not too little—you, your life, your grief, are welcome here.
What to Expect
Limited group size for comfort and connection
Clear, warm facilitation to support safety and respect in peer group context
Supportive space to speak, listen, or simply be present
