    “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 […]

    Friends Missing Friends: A Gathering for Friend-Loss Grievers

    Virtual Event

    Are you grieving the death of a friend? Do you want to meet and gather with people who GET it? Friend-loss grief is isolating because it's disenfranchised, and there are very few resources available. We shouldn't have to do this alone. Let's honor our friends, talk about our grief, and find comfort in community.

    “It’s Complicated” – Support Group

    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 […]

    A Gathering for Friend-loss Grievers

    In this online gathering, we will share stories and have a facilitated discussion about friend-loss grief. The session will be hosted and facilitated by Hannah Rumsey, the Founder and Director of Friends Missing Friends -- a community dedicated to providing support and guidance for people grieving friends. Friend-loss grief is widely ignored and dismissed by our society. Harold Ivan Smith, the author of Grieving the Death of a Friend, said it best: "The distraught close friend of someone who dies has virtually no legitimate, public grief and mourning channels." Because of that, friend-loss grievers have very few avenues to openly […]

    You’re going to this event Grief & The Holidays – Self Care Workshop and Sound Healing Experience

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

    The holidays can bring up all kinds of emotions — especially grief. It’s not only the grief that follows the death of someone we love, but also the quiet ache that comes with the loss of a pet, the end of a relationship, a career shift, or a dream that has changed. This season can stir up memories and tenderness in ways that are hard to name. Join us as we come together to pause, breathe, and care for ourselves in community. Grief Coach Wendy Kessler will guide a compassionate conversation on tending to grief during the holidays, followed by […]
