What’s Your Grief Café

​What if there were a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental community space where you could go to freely express your grief and be heard—validated without anyone trying to "fix" you—surrounded by others who truly get it? Would you go?

​And once you arrived, what if you were invited to share—or simply sit quietly if you weren't ready to speak? Would you feel comfortable enough to stay?

​What if you were told you could converse with a lost loved one—a person or a cherished pet—via a "Wind Phone"? A direct line with no need to dial, where you can speak into the wind and feel heard. What would you say? What would you ask? How would it feel afterward?

​And if the words were too hard to say aloud, what if you could put pen to paper at a writing station, seal your thoughts in an envelope, stamp it, and drop it in a mailbox? What would you write? What would you want them to know? Would it bring a sense of comfort and release?

​You might be thinking to yourself: "There is no place like this..."

​You would be wrong. I have created this exact place, with all of this and more—right here in your neighborhood.
