    Dead parents club: a virtual grief circle

    Virtual Event

    Losing a parent changes you. It’s weird, it’s heavy, it’s lonely — and a lot of people don’t know how to talk about it. Dead Parents Club is a virtual grief circle for anyone navigating life after the loss of a parent (or parents). This is a space where you don’t have to sugarcoat it. No one’s going to rush you, try to fix you, or flinch when you talk about the hard stuff. We’ll begin with a short grounding — a few moments to connect with your body and breath — and then we’ll open the circle. The rest […]

  • Bound By Loss

    Bound By Loss Reading Circle

    Virtual Event

    Bound By Loss is a thoughtfully facilitated book circle for those navigating loss who feel ready to engage with their grief through reading, reflection, and discussion.

    Death Café – Ybor

    Spookeasy Lounge 1909 N. 15th Street, Tampa, FL, United States

    A Death Café is a warm, welcoming gathering where people—often strangers—come together to talk openly about death, dying, and the meaning of life.
