TESTIMONIALS

"What inspired me so much was just learning about the other ladies and the journeys we’ve all been on. I’ve been trying to get here for a while. I’m so glad that I finally made it. This has been awesome. I looked forward to coming back again. I learned a lot from Teacher Michelle and the rest of the ladies and I just feel kind of brand new. I’m so glad I came and I’m so inspired to be at more of the grief gatherings."

- La Tonya, Grief Gathering Attendee (March 2025)

"One of the exercises that we did was we had to circle what emotions we were feeling at the time. How it impacted me was because as people kept expressing. I realized that the circles that I was creating, I wasn't being honest with myself. I decided to finally just open up when it got to my turn to say something. I opened up, I expressed it and I just felt safe doing it. I couldn't be more grateful for being a part of this space today, feeling safe, feeling free to express myself and feeling free to be empathetic with other people and not feeling ashamed about it. "

"I 100% absolutely would recommend this. This was such a therapeutic experience and me personally, it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I'll never forget this and I look forward to coming back again."

- A. Rentie, Grief Gathering Attendee (May 2024)

"I am a therapist and I've experienced grief in all the human emotions. I'm a human first always and despite knowing what to do and all the things that I help support others with, it isn't always the same. Like, I also need to be poured into and so, being a therapist, yes, you may know technically what to do but it doesn't absolve you of your human experience and you have to support also and have go to your own therapy, go to your own community support spaces like this and so, it doesn't absolve you. Grief touches everyone no matter what expertise you may have."
