Support for Gathering

Whether you were ever formally connected with one of our programs or not, we hope that the following pages are helpful as you navigate life after loss. You need not do it alone.

Below you’ll find collections of specially curated resources and support for gathering in pairs and groups. While these were initially designed for our Buddies, Dinner Partiers, and Hosts, there are many ideas for connecting more deeply, managing peer-support relationships, and having some fun in the meantime. So, we encourage you to send a brave message to the person you know has experienced the death of someone important to them, whether they’re a personal connection, you share a mutual friend, or you saw them post about it online. You can invite them into community with you.

Let these pages be both your encouragement and your guide.
