- Coping skills and grief education: You'll find an entire section with articles, videos, and more. Whether it's getting through the week, learning how to find a good therapist, or dealing with people, we have you covered.
- Safety and well-being: What happens in the group, stays in the group. Ashley also chats with each person in our community, making it free from trolling, spam, and criticism. We're all here to support each other.
