When you’re just trying to survive, it can feel like no one understands
(but everyone is willing to give their opinion of how you’re doing, what you should be doing, or why you aren’t doing what you could be doing )
What exactly is the human side of grief?
Grief is often seen through a clinical lens. Which may have a place in your journey (we support that!)
But when it comes to relating to people, work, hobbies, chores, and life “after”...
No one is really talking about that.
We are.


We aren’t equipped with the same fluency around grief as we are other emotions like joy, sadness, anger, or jealousy.
We don’t always know how to identify grief. We often don’t have the language to explain what it feels like, and even when we do, it's hard to share with others.
Sometimes we don’t want to bring up our story for fear of others’ reaction (or lack of reaction).
And sometimes, we simply don’t want to be a burden.


Even our closest and most trusted friends don’t know what to do when we’re grieving.
If they do want to help, it shouldn’t be on you to tell them how they can be helpful.
We provide a space to be seen, heard, and to sit in your experience, without getting stuck in the pity party.

*This is not a space for counseling, advice, or coaching. It is a space for connecting with each other. While Laura is present and active in the space, she is not a facilitator. There is no content to learn, no live calls to attend, and no “fixing” to be done. It is a space to be…just okay. Alongside others who understand what you’re going through, because they’ve gone through it too. We rely on the respectful participation of every community member to keep this space welcoming, gentle, safe, and supportive.
Grief comes in all forms.
Here are some of the ways our community has described grief.
