Sad Hours are casual, come-as-you-are gatherings where we skip the small talk and get real about what’s actually going on in our lives — griefy or not.
We host them in low-key spots like breweries, cafés, and wine bars. Emphasis on low-key; we’re taking grief support out of the places you expect it to be and putting it in the places where you actually are.
But, no two Sad Hours are the same. That means one month there might be 10 people talking about divorce in a cafe, and the next month there are 50 people roller skating, half of them with a dead parent, and the other half holding all different kinds of grief.
We’ve shared stories over pints, made candles together, unrolled yoga mats — and we’re always game to try something new.
The vibe is simple: real people, real feelings, no pressure, no pretending.
Sad Hours aren’t your typical grief support group, sermon, or counseling session — and that’s the point. They’re casual, come-as-you-are gatherings where you can talk, listen, or simply exist alongside people who get it. There’s no pressure to be “okay.” No toxic positivity. No silver linings required. Just space for whatever you’re carrying, however it shows up.

Sad Hours are popping up everywhere; in cozy cafés, neighborhood bars, indie bookstores, and community spaces across the country. You can show up to one that’s already on the calendar, or help make one happen where you live or work.
