Support Communities
Active Communities:
Grief Support Community
A compassionate space where you can share your story of loss and be heard without judgment. Together, we explore practical tools and gentle practices for living alongside grief. You’ll leave each session feeling supported, understood, and less alone in your journey.
All losses are welcome. Making Space recognizes the many ways that grief can find us throughout this journey of life.

How It Works
Making Space support communities are safe, welcoming circles where we can share, listen, and connect with community. Each group is guided by a peer facilitator and built on trust, respect, and compassion. Groups fall into three categories: demographic need (Men’s, Women’s, Latinx, LGBTQ+, BIPOC groups), transition support (Grief, Hospice, New Parent groups), and our flagship “A Space For All” community group.
