If you're joining a gathering, you might be wondering what happens inside them.


These gatherings are created for those navigating a loss.

Any loss.

Any change, ending, or transition can bring up grief. 

And these gatherings are a safe place to be seen, heard and held in that grief. 

At a Grief Gathering, there's no pressure to have the right words, share your entire story or arrive knowing exactly what you're feeling.

Here's what you're walking into at each Grief Gathering experience.
Loss comes in many forms

 

 

Safety and security: Witnessing or experiencing violence, abuse, internal loss of safety and trust.

Family & childhood: Childhood experiences, emotionally unavailable parents, unresolved family relationships or changing family dynamics and roles.

Hopes & dreams: Unfulfilled expectations, a future that didn't unfold as imagined or dreams that never materialised.

Everyday losses: The loss of a pet, friendship, community, home, support system or even a version of life you once knew. And moving (expat). 

This is not an exhaustive list. If it feels like an ending, change or transition to you, it deserves a space to be acknowledged.
