Friend-Loss Peer Support Groups

Do you want a safe space to grieve, cry, and talk about your friend?

Do you want your grief to feel lighter?

Do you want to build deep connections with people who GET it?

Do you want to feel less alone?

In their own words…

  • "Hannah created and held such an important and beautiful space…Our weekly times together were filled with love, pain, laughter, memories, tears, questions, support and deep connection as we got to know each other and our friends."

    Nina

  • “It was a wonderful experience. It was the first time in a bereavement group that I felt completely seen. There were unique dynamics that I didn't know that I needed represented.”

    Novelette

  • “It meant a lot to be with other people who have physically lost dear friends. This actually was very timely for me, as my college best friend’s death anniversary was right in the middle of our timeline.”

    Tina

  • “I felt lighter each time I logged off the zoom, reflecting and carrying with me the stories and wisdom of the others through the week, and I looked forward to spending time with everyone again.”

    Nina

  • “I got far more out of it than I ever, ever, ever thought I would. I’m more comfortable talking about grief now!”

    Kim

  • “We all came with a different experience of friend bereavement and Hannah facilitated with a compassion and openness that allowed our grief, ourselves and our friends to be present. Thank you Hannah!”

    Nina

  • “In times of darkness and grief this group was a glimmer of light. It felt healing to be heard and to hear others and relate and commiserate with their grief.”

    Jem

  • “It was so comforting to hear about others' experiences of friend-loss and to know I wasn't alone.”
