Companions on a Journey Grief Support Welcome to Companions on a Journey Grief Support, a center of hope, strength, and healing.

At COJ, we believe that the journey of grief and loss is not meant to be walked alone. If you are seeking non-urgent grief support services, we invite you to call our COJ office during normal business hours (closed holidays). If, however, you are experiencing a psychiatric emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Additional resources include the National Su***de Prevention L

Yesterday, COJ trained staff from 21 Archdiocese of Cincinnati schools in COJ's approach to supporting grieving children. Thanks to our partnership with the New York Life Foundation, a total of 35 Archdiocesan schools have also participated in the NYL Foundation's Grief-Sensitive Schools Initiative, equipping educators to better support students through loss.

We're grateful to work alongside the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the New York Life Foundation, and the New York Life Cincinnati team to ensure that no child has to grieve alone. 💜

Feeling crushed after hearing about Dolly Parton? You're definitely not alone. 💔

If you're feeling a deep sense of loss right now, know that this is called parasocial grief, which is real and completely normal. Most of us never meet the celebrities we follow and love, and we are hearing from all corners how Dolly was a constant source of joy, comfort, and warmth in so many of our lives for decades. When someone that familiar to us passes away, our brain and heart process it like a true loss—because the emotional bond was real.

Here are a few gentle ways to cope with the news:
- Like with any grief, validate your feelings: Don't beat yourself up or feel silly for crying over someone you didn't know personally. Give yourself explicit permission to mourn.
- Honor her legacy through action: Stream your favorite songs, watch 9 to 5, or donate a few dollars to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library to keep her spirit of giving alive.
- Connect with the community: Share your favorite memories, lyrics, or stories with others online or with friends who get it. Processing grief together helps light the way forward.

Rest in peace, Dolly. 💜🙏
