This group is for you if you're seeking a compassionate and supportive space to express and process experiences of disenfranchised grief—particularly grief that others might not recognize, understand, or validate. This could be related to a friend break-up, the death of a pet, a significant life transition, loss of a job, and more.

Using writing, small group sharing, and group discussion, you’ll experience an environment of support and a container for your grief process.

No prior writing experience is needed—just a willingness to show up, reflect, and connect with others who have similar experiences. Sharing your writing is always optional, and when shared, it will often be in pairs to foster a sense of safety and intimacy. Writing in this group is primarily for your personal processing and exploration.

This group might be for you if:

You want a supportive community to process feelings, losses, and questions surrounding difficult, unacknowledged grief—such as the grief of estranged relationships, identity changes, or unreached life milestones.

1. You're searching for a way to make sense of and heal from grief that feels invisible to others, whether due to cultural, societal, or relational factors.

2. You wish to connect with others who understand the complex emotions tied to disenfranchised grief, offering empathy and support through shared experiences.

3. You’re curious about how expressive writing can guide you on a journey of self-discovery and healing as you navigate nuanced, often hidden grief.

4. You’re seeking a space that encourages transformation, offering writing and reflection as a means to foster resilience, process loss, and rediscover meaning.

5. You want to connect with like-minded individuals who are learning to find strength and renewal in their grief journey, transforming unspoken losses into growth and resilience.
