    “It’s Complicated” Support Group

    Virtual Event

    A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent, sibling, grandparent, partner, co-parent, friend, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups, so that we can hear diverse perspectives, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction, mental health challenges, conflict, estrangement, abuse, etc. were a part of the picture, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This […]

    Childfree By Choice & Grieving

    Virtual Event

    It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate, depressing, and/or systemic reasons, and I created this space where we can be with our truths, and hurts, around it all. Our monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to […]

    Teeth Become Weapons: Trans Grief and Rage

    Zoom Cornelius, NC

    Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for 2SLGBTQIA+ people navigating end of life in our personal lives and in our communities. Our bodies, lives, and very beings are increasingly politicized. Our stories and histories are flattened, made palatable for the sake of survival. Our unique grief becomes increasingly buried and unheard, unshared. What makes it unique? What do we grieve? How does that grief affect us? What prevents us from […]

    Dead Parents Club

    Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird, it’s heavy, it’s lonely. Dead Parents Club is a grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where the whole of you and your grief are welcome, however it shows up. We begin with a short grounding to connect with your body and breath, and then the circle is open. The rest of the 90 minutes are yours: to share, to listen, to cry, to sit in silence. Whatever you need. There’s no pressure to speak, and no need to perform your grief […]

    Support for our Grieving Community – Guided Discussion & Educational Workshop

    South Park Yoga & Wellness 2985 Beech St., San Diego, CA, United States

    Grief isn’t only something we experience after a death. We grieve relationships, careers, dreams, and a changing sense of safety, and many of us are also grieving the state of the world itself. These everyday griefs are often unspoken, yet they shape how we navigate life and care for one another. Many of us are wondering how to stay engaged with what’s happening in the world while also caring for our own mental and emotional well-being. This 90-minute interactive, donation-based grief workshop explores grief as a life skill - one that helps us adapt to unwanted change, understand what we […]
