The Gift of Grief

Tue, Aug 11 | 5:00PM - 6:30PM UTC

Yes, grief is a gift because it means you loved someone dearly. I will be here for this group. I'm holding this space for anyone who has lost a someone they love - be it to death, mental illness, dementia, or the like. This can be the loss of a person or pet. I lost my mom in December of 2025 to non-alcoholic cirrhosis and liver cancer. The dementia set in around March of 2025 (though it may have started creeping in earlier) and progressed rapidly. This is not my first experience with a great loss. I've lost several beloved pets, as well as a few friends. This is a safe space to discuss whatever it is that is on your heart. You can ask questions about whatever you wish. We may be able to come up with answers together, we may not. If it's something I can research, I will. If you don't want to talk, you can just listen. We can laugh, we can cry, however the conversation and mood is at the time. There will be no judgment. One rule is to be honest with yourself about your feelings. I will have a list of prompts if the conversation stalls. While we prefer to have cameras on the majority of the time, we understand that occasionally it needs to be turned off for a little while.

The Healing Journey of Grief. Temperature Check.

This is a very safe space for any and everyone. For a brief moment we are going to come together and pour our hearts out. The session will not be a long session but very effective one. We are giving ourselves 60 minutes to sing, scream, laugh, holler, dance and cry about our grief or any circumstances we are dealing with. In our midweek check-in, we are here to check our temperature. How are you doing?

Topic context

Understanding bereavement

Grief isn’t linear, and it doesn’t follow a set timeline. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or a way of life, the emotional weight can feel isolating and hard to explain to others. Peer support offers comfort in shared mourning. It’s a space where you don’t have to be okay — where your feelings are welcomed and validated. Together, you honor loss, share coping strategies, and find moments of hope in the presence of others who truly understand.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with bereavement

Peer support helps with bereavement because the people around you often expect you to move through grief faster than is real. A group of peers who have also lost someone can offer recognition, company, and the relief of not having to perform recovery for the room.

Frequently asked questions

What is bereavement?

Bereavement is the period of grief and mourning following the death of someone close to you. It includes a range of emotional, physical, and social responses to loss, and it looks different for every person and every relationship.

How long does bereavement last?

There is no fixed timeline. Bereavement can last months, years, or a lifetime, and it rarely moves in a straight line. Many people find that grief resurfaces around anniversaries, milestones, or unexpected moments. A support group can hold those waves without pressure to be done.

Is a bereavement support group different from grief counseling?

Grief counseling involves a trained professional guiding your work through loss. A bereavement support group connects you with other people who are grieving. Both can be valuable, and many people use them together at different points in the process.
