In 2024, while leaving my birthday party, my sweet friend Vlora was killed in a motorcycle accident. I’d always had a severe aversion to people who ride motorcycles for this very reason.

Happening tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the last Tuesday of July and the second offering of our new offering, Grief Care After Su***de Loss

Tuesday, July 28th
6:30-7:30pm Pacific
on Zoom

Register at bit.ly/su***desurvivorgroup for link

Hosted by A Sacred Passing and Faces of Fortitude and facilitated by a small rotating group of facilitators. This space is a space where people find themselves brought together by the shared commonality of losing someone in their life by su***de. This is a space unlike most traditional su***de loss support groups and we hope that you will be held in ways softly surprise you.

This space isn't a therapy group, a space to judge how people feel, how they grieve or process, it is also not a place for advice - not from facilitators or attendees.

We ask that people have supports to regulate and care for themself during and after this meeting. The Zoom room entrance closes at 10 minutes past the hour. No late attendees will be admitted out of kindness, trust, respect for the space we are holding and those sharing

Our group will be a small group, and capped at 12 for the first 3 months as we grow into holding this space.
