Grief Support
Grief on your own timeline, with someone who won’t rush you through it.
There's no schedule grief is supposed to follow, and I'm not going to hand you one.
Whether it's been three days or three years, whether the loss is a death or something else entirely (a marriage, a diagnosis, a version of your life you thought you'd have),
This is space to feel it without being managed through it.
Sometimes home is too full of it, and public is where you have to hold it together.
You just need somewhere else, one that isn't either of those.
Grief has a strange way of making someone everywhere and nowhere all at once.
This might be for you if...
“I don’t want to be at home, but I don’t want to be in public either. I just need somewhere else”
“Grief groups just aren’t for me”
"Everyone thinks I should be 'better' by now."
"I don't want to be fixed. I just don’t want to do this alone."
"I'm not in danger, I'm just not okay, and I'm tired of pretending I am."
"I don't need therapy. I need someone who gets it."
“If one more person tells me they’re ‘in a better place,’ I might actually lose it!”
What it actually looks like
We sit together in the Dome, or wherever feels right.
The Dome exists partly for this exact reason: it's not your house, full of reminders, and it's not a waiting room where you have to hold your face together. It's just somewhere else.
You can talk about them, or not talk at all.
You can cry, go quiet, get angry, laugh about something that would feel wrong to laugh about anywhere else.
Nothing here is rushed toward "moving on."
This isn't grief counselling, and I'm not a therapist. If something you're carrying needs clinical support, I'll tell you honestly, and help you find it. What I offer is company in the parts of grief that need somewhere to be witnessed, not rushed away.
I don't run grief groups, and I won't ask you to share before you're ready. In my own life, trust never came from being asked to open up on cue. It came from something ordinary done alongside someone else, until it was safe enough to be honest. That's how I work here too.
Pain that asks to be repeated isn't trying to trap you.
It's asking for more compassion. More witnessing. More love.
A visit, however long that actually needs to be, not a fixed clock.
No expectation of stages, timelines, or "progress".
Ongoing support, if you want a standing person to check in with.
When Everyone else has moved on
When the cards, calls, and flowers stop, all that's visible are the dried out roses.
Grief is complex. On one hand, it feels like everyone can tell. On the other, you avoid people because you don't want to explain, while simultaneously wishing they already knew.
Sometimes it's just you and the dried-out roses. That's often when people stop checking in.
It's also exactly when I'm still here.
This probably isn't for you if...
You're in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself. Please reach out to a crisis line at 1-877-303-2642 or emergency services first; I'll always point you there before anything else.
You need clinical grief therapy for something complex. I'll help you find the right person if that's the case.

*Money should never be the reason someone goes without companionship, grief support, or end‑of‑life care. If cost is a barrier, we’ll talk about it. There is always a way forward.
