about us
Grief Exploration
On Your Terms
Book a Session
We’re breaking the silence. In a culture that treats death as taboo, we reclaim loss & grief as a natural part of living. Grief Positive is a safe space to show up as we are, mourn openly when we need to, and alchemize our pain in community.
"Joy is not the opposite of grief. Grief is the opposite of indifference."

why we exist
Our mission is to build grief-informed, death-literate communities where grief is met with openness and support. We can’t erase the pain of loss, but together we can honor it, learn from it, and let it lead us toward deeper aliveness.

We honor grief in every form

When we give ourselves space to safely process our pain, we deepen our capacity to love ourselves and others, and open the door to more fulfilling lives.
We make grief education practical by providing tools you can use right now: toolkits, an on-demand library, 1:1 conversation, and a community that understands. We meet you where you are, with care.
FOR GRIEVERS AND THEIR PEOPLE
If you’re grieving, loving someone who is, or just seeking to understand, you’re in the right place.
GRIEF POSITIVE APPROACH
We know grief sucks! We don't romanticize or bypass the heaviness. We create trauma-informed, consent-based safe spaces to process feelings and invite transformation.
INCLUSIVE ACCESS
Care shouldn't be a luxury. Our in-house resources are priced accessibly and we offer sliding-scale sessions and events so cost is never the barrier to getting support.
OUR SOLUTIONS

Feeling stuck in grief

If you’re unsure where to start, explore our interactive workbooks, guides, and exercises designed to help you process your grief step by step. These tools provide gentle structure and direction to support your healing journey.

Wondering if what they're feeling is "normal"

Spoiler: whatever you’re feeling is normal. Our media library features curated books, films, podcasts, and games that explore the universal and complex emotional experience of grief, so you can feel assured that you are not alone.

Support that misses the mark

Loved ones often want to help but don’t always know how. When support stalls at “let me know if you need anything,” we teach you to name what you need so others can step in clearly. We also provide practical tools and guidance for anyone who wants to offer meaningful support.

Feeling unseen by “experts” or advice that doesn’t fit their experience.

No one has all the answers when it comes to grief- we’re all learning as we go. Our 1:1 support sessions focus on listening, presence, and practices tailored to you. You’ll explore art, rituals, nature-based exercises, and mind/body tools in a space where you’re treated as an equal, not a problem to be fixed.

Struggling to live with the weight of grief

Grief can feel heavy, but it can also be a source of insight and growth if we allow it. Our digital toolkits offer frameworks, practices, and rituals that help you make grief a manageable (and even transformative!) part of life.

Difficulty sleeping or concentrating

Grief can disrupt our routines, but there are ways to recalibrate. We offer somatic exercises, journaling exercises, and mind/body practices that help calm your mind, improve focus, and support rest.

Feeling isolated or alone

Grief can feel isolating, like no one could possibly understand the pain you’re carrying. We've been there and now we're here for you. Book a 1:1 session for personal support or join a Grief Café or community event to connect with others.

Our Approach

Connection
We provide support and resources that help you face your grief and connect more fully with yourself.
Conversation
Real change begins by talking openly about loss! We create opportunities to start those important conversations in open, judgment-free spaces.
Community
Grief doesn’t have to be lonely. Join our virtual and IRL events to meet others ready to have conversations about death.
Ceremony
Ceremony paragraph
Compassion
Our 1:1 support comes from the heart. We listen deeply, honor your story, and meet you wherever you are on the path.
Consent
We create trauma-informed, consent-based spaces that honor the personal and sacred nature of grief. You set the pace and choose what to share. We'll always respect your boundaries.
Creativity
We encourage tapping into your creativity as a tool for expression and transformation. In the process, your grief will turn into something meaningful (and even beautiful.)
Conscious Change
When we face grief courageously, we open the door to personal growth and ripple that change into the world around us.
Our Hard Nos
Rushing
We move at the pace grief asks for, not the pace the world demands. You will never be hurried through your process here.
Imposing Agendas
We won’t tell you how your process is supposed to go. There’s no finish line we’re guiding you toward.
Superiority
We don’t position ourselves as the authority. We follow your lead and offer support when invited.
Pathologizing
We don't frame grief as a personal problem or mental illness that needs to be "fixed."
"Fixing"
You’re not broken and your grief isn’t a problem to solve. We’re here to witness it, not make it disappear.
Assuming
We ask, never assume. Grief manifests in countless ways- we listen to understand yours.
Dismissing
We don’t get uncomfortable, change the subject, or minimize your grief. We make space for what you're feeling.
Bypassing
We won't offer hollow platitudes or skip over difficult feelings in favor of forced positivity.
Forcing Productivity
We honor rest as essential. We won’t treat you like a machine that needs to return to function on demand.
Comparing
We don't measure grief or suggest someone has it worse. All grief is honored here.
Silencing
We won't change the subject or get uncomfortable. Your voice and story matter to us.
Performing
We don't minimize your experience or tell you it's "not that bad." We take your grief seriously and honor its weight.
Disembodying
We don't ask you to intellectualize your pain. We honor your body's wisdom and need to feel.
Abandoning
We don't disappear when it gets messy. We stay present through the difficult moments.
Scarcity Thinking
We root our support in love, abundance, and trust- not control or urgency.
