Light from the Darkness

09/23/2026

Wanted to ask something of the people who quietly follow this page. ❤️

Especially the ones who have thought about coming to a Light From the Darkness meeting…but haven't.

What keeps you from coming?

Is it scary walking into a room where you don't know anyone?

Are you worried you'll have to talk?

Do you think your loss was too long ago—or too recent?

Do you worry you'll cry?

Do you feel like your relationship with the person you lost was complicated?

Or maybe you're just not sure a grief support meeting is “your thing.”

I genuinely want to know.

Because Light From the Darkness isn't a room full of people sitting around trying to make each other sad.

We're people who understand something we wish we didn't understand.

You don't have to speak. You don't have to have the right words. You don't have to be having a “bad grief day.” And you definitely don't have to have it all together.

You can just come sit with us.

If you've lost someone to addiction, overdose or substance use, there is a seat for you. ❤️

And if you're not ready to tell me what's keeping you away, you can simply comment ❤️ so I know you're out there.

We see you.
