Upcoming Grieve Leave Events:
Meet & Grieve: Take Your Grief For A Hike
Grief can feel like a heavy backpack you carry everywhere. But what if you could set that backpack down for a little while and just...breathe? Join us for a virtual Meet & Grieve all about finding moments of peace and freedom in nature while navigating loss. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or just need some fresh air, this interactive event is for you. We'll explore how spending time outside - going for walks, swimming, floating, you name it - can provide comfort on your griefier days. Betsy Bertram, writer, speaker, Kripalu certified yoga teacher & Reiki practitioner, will lead us through grounding exercises, breathwork, and an outdoor meditation (which we'll record and share so you can revisit it anytime). Betsy created the Embracing Death & Dying online workshop series which supports people living more fully by preparing for life's end. Read more about the workshop series on Betsy's website. But We'll create a judgment-free space to share our experiences or simply listen as others open up. No naturey-expertise required. So tighten those shoelaces, and get ready to take your grief for a walk with us. This virtual event is free but registration is required and donations to Betsy Bertram are encouraged to her Venmo @Elizabeth-Bertram. As a Grieve Leave member, you will receive a free 30-minute one-on-one coaching session with your registration for the Embracing Death and Dying workshop ($100 value).

Meet & Grieve: When Grief Hits Too Young
Grief doesn't always wait until you’re older. For many young adults, the overwhelming experience of loss - whether it's a devastating diagnosis, death, or another life-altering event - is often overlooked. While support exists for children and older folks, there's a huge gap when it comes to those in their teens, 20s, and 30s. That's why we're teaming up with our friends at Gray for Glioblastoma for this special Meet & Grieve. Hosted by Grieve Leave's founder, Rebecca Feinglos, in collaboration with Kate Snedeker of Gray for Glioblastoma, this virtual gathering is a much-needed space for young adults navigating grief. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, you can unload, connect with others who get it, or just listen - whatever you need, this space is for you.
