Those who experience the loss of a loved one want friends, family, 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 aim to raise awareness about the grief process and offer practical ways to support grievers in your community.

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.
