There’s something deeply meaningful about watching Bond Grief Collective begin to take shape in our community.
Lately, it feels like so much of this work is unfolding beyond these four walls.
We’ve had the privilege of speaking at BE ABLE . Sitting with people navigating homelessness, addiction, incarceration, poverty, and major life transitions. Holding space for stories that are often carried in silence.
We’re also beginning a monthly collaboration with Flight Crew Coffee! Bringing conversations about grief into a place people already gather. Each month, we’ll talk about a different part of grief in a way that feels open, approachable, and human.
In September, Austin and I will also be speaking at the Caregiver Renewal event hosted by Accord Hospice - Manhattan . Caregiving can hold so much grief for what has changed, what may be coming, and what you wish could be different.
And then October brings an opportunity that feels especially close to my heart.
I’ll be speaking at Ascension Via Christi Remembrance Day, honoring families who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. To be trusted with a room filled with stories and babies who are deeply loved and deeply missed is something I don’t take lightly.
Different rooms. Different people. Different kinds of loss.
And yet, the same belief keeps bringing us into each of them: grief support belongs in the places people already are.
We’re so grateful to watch that belief become something real, right here in our community.
