About us
Monthly support group offering comfort, understanding & connection, a safe compassionate space where grief is welcome and allowed to breathe
Grief doesn’t end after the funeral.
It changes shape, moves through our lives and often leaves us feeling alone in a world that has carried on without our person in it.
This Monthly Bereavement Support Circle is a safe, compassionate space for anyone living with loss, whether recent or many years ago.
For over three decades, I have walked alongside grief through lived experience and professional support work. The space I create is grounded in kindness, compassion and deep understanding.
Here, you don’t have to hide how you feel or “be okay”.
This circle offers a place where:
You can speak freely, or simply listen
Your grief is met with understanding
Emotions are welcomed, not fixed
Connection gently rebuilds over time
Together, we create a supportive community where grief is allowed to breathe and where life after loss can slowly begin to feel possible again.
What we explore in the circle
Each session may include gentle discussion and guidance around:
Understanding grief beyond the early days and months
The ripple effect of secondary losses and hidden struggles
How to offer and receive calm, grounded presence
Holding space safely when strong emotions arise
Boundaries, language and emotional safety
Managing vulnerability, triggers and group dynamics
Rebuilding connection and confidence in life after loss
Compassionate, validating ways to talk about grief
There is no pressure to share. You are welcome exactly as you are.
Who this is for
This circle is for:
Anyone who has experienced bereavement
Those feeling isolated in their grief
People wanting gentle connection and understanding
Those looking for ongoing support in a safe space
You do not need to have attended before.
You are welcome whether your loss is recent or many years ago.
What to expect
A warm, confidential and supportive environment
Small group setting
Kind, compassionate facilitation
Tea, connection and understanding
The freedom to simply be
This is a peer support space, not therapy, but it can feel deeply therapeutic to be among people who understand.
