An Online Gathering for Friend-loss Grievers
Details
Are you grieving the death of a friend? Do you want to meet and gather with people who GET it? Friend-loss grief is isolating because it's disenfranchised. We shouldn't have to do this alone.
In this online gathering, we'll share stories and have a discussion about friend-loss grief.

Friend-loss grief is widely ignored and dismissed by our society. Harold Ivan Smith, the author of Grieving the Death of a Friend, said it best: "The distraught close friend of someone who dies has virtually no legitimate, public grief and mourning channels."
Because of that, friend-loss grievers have very few avenues to openly talk about their grief. In this discussion, we are free to talk about it: the depth of our sadness, the fears, the anxieties, the doubts, the jealousies. Everything we are normally too scared to say.
Let's honor our friends, make connections, and have meaningful conversation.
