After the death of a loved one, it can be hard to even know what we're feeling or what we need.

Grief can be terribly isolating. While we may long for connection, it can be overwhelming to talk about our feelings or listen to the pain of others.

Mindfulness & Grief groups offer a supportive place to connect with others while learning practical ways to care for ourselves and our grief with compassion. 

Based on Heather Stang's Mindfulness & Grief System, this eight-week program combines guided mindfulness practices, reflective journaling, grief education, and supportive conversation.

This group welcomes adults grieving the death of a loved one. No previous mindfulness or writing experience is needed. All sharing is optional.

Next group begins November 4, 2026, 5pm EST | Maximum five participants | $88 USD ($11/week)

What We'll Explore

Throughout our eight weeks together, you'll learn practical ways to:

• Care for your body and nervous system when you feel exhausted, anxious, or overwhelmed.

• Explore new ways of responding to your thoughts and emotions with compassion and care. 

• Recognize when to spend time with difficult feelings and when you need to step back and care for yourself in other ways.

• Notice familiar patterns, like worrying, withdrawing, or keeping constantly busy, and explore new ways of coping with difficult emotions.

• Explore ways to honour and remember your loved one while learning to navigate life without them.

• Learn how to bring these practices into daily life, so they can continue to support you long after the group ends. 

What Happens in a Session?

Each session begins with a brief check-in, then a guided mindfulness practice connected to the week's theme, followed by reflective writing and group conversation.

There's time to talk about what you noticed, ask questions, and explore how you can use the practice in everyday life. You'll never be asked to share what you've written.

All practices are optional, and you can adapt them in whatever way works best for you. You're welcome to turn your camera off during the practices and take breaks whenever you need. You can share as much or as little as feels right for you. 

The Grief Group I Wish I'd Had

A few months after Drew died, I went to my first grief support group, and I never went back.

I desperately wanted to connect with others who understood what I was going through. But hearing about other people's pain, when I was already so overwhelmed by my own, was just too much. I didn't yet have the tools to understand what I was feeling, recognize what I needed, or care for myself and my grief.

Over the years, mindfulness, writing, and practices that helped care for my overwhelmed nervous system became the foundation of how I learned to live with my grief. These are still part of my daily self-care, and they're at the heart of how I support others in my work as a grief coach.

Heather Stang's Mindfulness & Grief System brings these practices together in a comprehensive, evidence-informed group program. It has been a true honour to train with Heather and now to be able to offer these groups.

What I really love about this approach is that we can learn these practices together, while each finding what helps us with our unique experience. Whether you're grieving a partner, a child, a parent, or someone else you love, whether your loss was recent or many years ago, this program can help you understand and care for your own grief with more compassion.

My own story is one of partner loss. Yours may be similar or very different, and I'd be honoured to welcome you into this group.

A Note About Sharing and Confidentiality

We'll begin by discussing group agreements, including respecting one another's privacy and keeping other participants' stories within the group. Because this is a shared space, confidentiality also depends on everyone honouring those agreements.

This group offers grief education, practical support, and connection. It is not psychotherapy or crisis support.
