No one should have to grieve alone.

Those who experience the loss of a loved one long for friends and colleagues to understand the intensity of the pain, the constant yearning to be with their loved one, the lingering sorrow, and the difficulty of celebrating joys. Through our peer-to-peer grief support programs, we seek to increase awareness of the grief process and provide practical ways to be a compassionate presence for grievers.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for comfort and hope to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. Your donation supports our collaborations with local organizations to offer in-person and online grief support programs. Your donation supports our grief education in the community.

The Faith & Grief Gathering is our cornerstone program, a monthly volunteer-led support gathering program offered locally and online at no cost to the participants. We also certify grief educators to lead The Faith & Grief Workshop and weekend getaway retreats, which we offer three in Texas.

Mission

Our mission is to provide opportunities for comfort and hope to those who have experienced the death of a loved one. In all that we do, we value:

- Gifts of all spiritual beliefs

- A community that understands the complexity of grief

- Compassion revealed in silence, tears, and laughter

- Stories that speak the truth and promote wholeness

Equity Statement

As a grief support organization, we provide opportunities for comfort & hope for all who have experienced the death of a loved one. We recognize that an individual's experiences in grief and ones' responses to those experiences are their own. Those experiences and responses in grief are influenced by race, gender, class, sexuality, faith, ability, and/or other aspects of identity of the person who is grieving. With humility and respect, we recognize and validate each individual's experience as they share their grief journey with us.

We cultivate a multi-faith, diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture in our organization and grief support programming.

We create safe spaces that are intentional, equitable and considerate of the diverse needs of different people as they grieve.

We cultivate supportive resources for grieving people, being mindful of the origins of the content and source material.
