The Good Grief Society!
What This Is
The Good Grief Society is a membership-based community where you don’t have to explain yourself, minimize your pain, or pretend you’re “doing better” for anyone else’s comfort.
This is a space to:
Talk about the hard stuff
Sit quietly when words feel impossible
Laugh when something is darkly funny (because sometimes it is)
Be witnessed exactly as you are
No toxic positivity. No pressure to heal on demand. No “at least…” BS.
Who This Is For
People grieving a death
People grieving a diagnosis, a relationship, a former version of themselves
Caregivers carrying anticipatory grief
Humans who are “functional” on the outside and falling apart quietly inside
You don’t have to be fresh in grief.
You don’t have to be falling apart.
You just have to be human.
What’s Included
Monthly Grief Circle
A live, facilitated grief circle where you can share, listen, or just exist.
You are never required to speak. You are always welcome.
Guest Speakers (Every Other Month)
Thoughtful conversations with grief-literate humans: therapists, caregivers, creatives, death workers etc. offering insight, tools, and new ways to understand what you’re carrying.
Daily Journal Prompts (Delivered Weekly)
Gentle, honest prompts sent to you weekly that you can use daily.
Some are reflective. Some are grounding. Some are about hope, legacy, or living now.
A few may even be a little funny. Because grief is heavy enough already.
Private Slack Community
A private space to connect between circles:
Share reflections
Ask questions
Say “today is a lot” without explanation
Celebrate small wins that don’t feel small
Come and go as needed. Lurk if that’s your jam.
Ready?
I HAVE MERCH!!!
