A Grief Cafe

We all experience loss in life. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, a relationship, a job, a home, a version of yourself, a familiar environment, or anything else that held importance, grief will enter when it leaves. Grief is complex and often uncomfortable but a necessary part of our lived experience, and healing comes from learning to live while carrying it with you.

A Grief Cafe is an informal space to gather with others who are feeling the weight of grief in their lives. We come together to share stories of loss, build mutually supportive community bonds, and discuss grief in a safe, judgement-free environment. No matter what’s been lost, all grief is valid and all grief is welcome here.

This event is facilitated by community member Nichole Brenner.
