Finally, a virtual grief group:
built with comfort and people who understand you.
Surviving Loss Is Lonely and Isolating
People often don't know how to support someone experiencing loss, especially after the funeral. That's why Friendships in Grief is here for you.
We'll gently guide you with:
- Gaining understanding and comfort
- Fears around forgetting your person
- Carrying guilt and shame
- Questioning if you're "grieving right"
- Establishing boundaries
- Grieving difficult or estranged relationships
- Coping with a stigmatized loss
- Overwhelm and feelings of hopelessness

Ashley's posts alone can keep me going on a rough day. The group has been a huge help for me as I work through my second year of loss. I have several of her posts hung up in my office to keep me going and to educate others about grief and her program.
I have also told several friends in grief about her. She has a great deal of knowledge about grief after having several losses in her life, and her insights have helped me look at the many challenges I am facing in a new light. The one-on-one calls with Ashley are amazing, as are all the groups she leads. I have attended a few of them and look forward to attending more." -Friendships in Grief Member

I recall the sleepless nights and the bubbling anger. There were times I wondered if I wasn’t “sad enough.”
I wasn’t excited to live and no one seemed to understand.
My name is Ashley, and I’m a multiple loss survivor. The earth shattered when my two soulmates died, and afterward, I buried friends and family.
Going through loss gave me a realistic, first-hand experience of surviving someone’s death. I gained insight and coping skills to integrate grief alongside life through it. I then guided other grieving hearts individually and in groups. Over time, they gained ease and felt supported.
That’s why this community is important. When grief goes unattended, we risk losing more long-term: our desire to live, the ability to make sound choices, and the desire to dream.
Getting the care you need allows you to live life again as you carry their memory and love with you.
