What We Believe
We’re creating space for real conversations, meaningful connection, and practical grief support for home, work, with our friends, and more because we’re done faking “fine” in a world that doesn’t want to talk about loss.
1
From death to divorce, from pregnancy loss to caregiving, if it changed you or someone you love, it matters here.
2
Our Sad Hours happen in bars, cafes, parks, and real-life places. No hushed rooms, no folding chair circles, just real talk.
3
Our workplace trainings get real about what it looks like to support each other through grief, and our policy work drives lasting change for all.

Through our podcast, Grief’d Up, our blog, and our social media, we name the things most people avoid: the awkward, the funny, the painful, and everything in-between.

Rebecca Feinglos is a certified grief support specialist, founder of Grieve Leave, and host of the podcast Grief’d Up. After losing her mother as a teenager, her father suddenly in 2020, and her marriage in a drawn-out divorce, Rebecca took a year-long “grief sabbatical” — a journey that sparked a global community helping thousands make space for loss with honesty, humor, and practical support.
Today, Grieve Leave reaches millions worldwide through education, storytelling, and workplace training, all aimed at building a more grief-informed world. Rebecca’s work has been featured in TIME, LA Times, Fortune, Slate, and more for her raw, relatable voice on grief.A former educator and senior policy advisor, Rebecca holds degrees from Duke University and the University of Chicago. She splits her time between Durham, North Carolina, and Montreal, with her senior dogs, Daisy Duke and Ralphie.
But, you don’t (and we don’t).
We’re so glad you’re here.
