Grief

You Don't Have to Walk This Path Alone

In the landscape of loss, every breath can feel like an act of courage. Every morning brings the weight of absence. Every familiar place echoes with what was and can never be again. We see you. We understand. And we're here to hold space for both your grief and your gradual return to life. 

​

A Sanctuary for Hearts Learning to Beat Again

Our grief support groups, tenderly facilitated by Monika Bar, are more than therapy sessions—they are sacred circles of healing where broken hearts come to mend alongside others who truly understand. Here, in the gentle company of fellow travelers, you'll discover something profound: that even in the depths of loss, human connection can spark the first flickers of hope.

These groups offer what grieving hearts need most:

​

Witnessed Pain

Your loss matters. Your tears are welcome. Your story deserves to be heard without judgment, without time limits, without anyone trying to fix or minimize your pain. Here, grief is honored as the price we pay for having loved deeply.

​

Genuine Warmth

In Monika's groups, you'll experience a special kind of warmth—not the superficial comfort of platitudes, but the deep, sustaining warmth of genuine human presence. Like sitting by a fire on the coldest night, this warmth doesn't erase the cold, but it makes it bearable. It reminds you that you're still alive, still capable of feeling, still worthy of care.

​

 Gentle Renewal

Week by week, session by session, something shifts. Not because anyone rushes you or because grief magically disappears, but because learning to live again is possible when you're surrounded by others who are learning too. Together, we practice the delicate art of carrying our loss while slowly, carefully, opening to life again.

​

All Losses Are Welcome Here

While many of our participants are navigating bereavement, we warmly welcome anyone struggling to recover from profound loss:

The death of a loved one—spouse, child, parent, sibling, friend

Divorce or the end of a significant relationship

Loss of fertility or the dream of parenthood

Career loss or professional identity crisis

Loss of health or physical ability

Loss of home or homeland

Any life transition that has left you unmoored and searching for solid ground

Your loss is valid. Your grief is real. Your need for support is human.

​

Learning to Live Anew

This isn't about "moving on" or "getting over it." This is about something far more profound: learning to live again with your loss as part of your story. In our groups, you'll discover:

​

The Art of Both/And

How to hold both sorrow and joy, both grief and gratitude, both the weight of what's lost and the possibility of what might still come.

​

The Power of Shared Humanity

There's something miraculous that happens when grieving hearts gather. In witnessing each other's pain and gradual healing, we remember we're not alone. We're part of the eternal human story of loss and resilience.

​

Permission to Be Human

Here, you don't have to be strong. You don't have to have it together. You can fall apart, and loving hands will help gather the pieces—not to rush you into wholeness, but to sit with you in the brokenness until you're ready to rebuild.

​

Monika's Loving Guidance

Under Monika's facilitation, these groups become containers of extraordinary tenderness. With over a decade of experience and her own intimate knowledge of loss, Monika creates an atmosphere where:

Every emotion is valid

Every pace of healing is respected

Every small step forward is celebrated

Every setback is met with compassion

Her presence is both professional and deeply personal—she knows this territory not just from training, but from her own journey through the valley of shadows. This authenticity creates a unique space where real healing becomes possible.

​

Carefully Curated Community

We take great care in forming our groups. Through a gentle screening process, we ensure that each circle consists of 8-10 individuals who are:

Ready to engage authentically with their grief

Willing to witness and support others

Committed to showing up, even when it's hard

Open to the possibility of healing, however that looks

This careful selection creates a safe, intimate environment where deep bonds form naturally. Many participants describe their group members as becoming "chosen family"—people who've seen them at their most vulnerable and loved them through it.
