About us
Healing After Loss
Releasing. Rebuilding. Resilience.
Grief changes everything and can feel isolating and overwhelming.
Whether your loss was recent or years ago, whether it was the death of a partner, family member, friend — or another life-altering loss — you deserve spaces where your grief is honored and recognized.
Healing After Loss is a supportive community for people navigating life after profound change.
This Meetup includes:
☕ The Tea Time Grief Circle (monthly)
A gentle, welcoming space to sit together and share over a cup of tea. No fixing. No pressure. Just connection and compassionate witnessing.
🌿 Workshops & Experiences
We’ll offer both free and paid workshops on topics such as:
• Understanding grief and secondary losses
• Somatic releasing and nervous system support
• Resilience building
• Self-care after loss
• Rebuilding identity and life after significant loss
• Asking for support and strengthening community
Some workshops are introductory and educational. Others are deeper experiential sessions connected to the services offered through HealingAfterLoss.com.

What This Space Is
• Inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, relationship types, and family structures
• Affirming of widowed, divorced, estranged, and non-death losses
• Trauma-aware and grief-informed
• Gentle, non-performative, and non-judgmental
• A peer-based group facilitated by a Grief Educator and Support Specialist
Group Guidelines
To help keep this space safe and supportive for everyone, we ask members to honor the following:
1. Confidentiality
What is shared in our circles stays in our circles.
You are welcome to share your own experience outside the group, but not someone else’s story.
2. Speak from Your Own Experience
Use “I” statements.
Avoid giving advice unless someone explicitly asks for it.
We practice witnessing more than fixing.
3. No Grief Comparisons
There is no hierarchy of loss here.
Your grief is valid. So is someone else’s — even if it looks different.
4. Respect Diverse Experiences
This group is inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, racial and cultural backgrounds, faith traditions (and non-faith), and relationship structures.
Discriminatory language or behavior will not be tolerated.
5. No Pressure to Share
You are always welcome to simply listen.
Participation is an invitation, never a requirement.
6. This Is Not Crisis Care
This group offers peer support and grief education.
It is not therapy or emergency mental health care.
If you are in crisis, please contact 988 (U.S.) or your local crisis resource.

Coping Strategies for Grieving & Adapting to Secondary Losses (Free)
·OnlineOnlineYou didn’t just lose your partner, family member, or loved one.
You lost your backup person, your plus one, and the person who shared your love of old movies, mowed the lawn, drove at night, and could feed the dog if you were running late.
In this workshop you will learn to identify your secondary losses, coping strategies to adapt to your new life, and how to come up with small (or big!) steps you can take right now to improve your life.
This workshop is primarily designed for widowed people, but anyone who has experienced a loss is welcome.
It is also posted in other venues, so the number of RSVPs here are not necessarily reflective of the number of attendees.
***
This workshop is free to attend.
If you find this workshop meaningful and would like to support the continuation of free and low-cost grief education, optional donations are always appreciated but never expected.
