FAQs

  • Each series is ten weeks long, and every week is intentional.

    We talk. We listen. We reflect. We move our bodies. We journal. Sometimes we create art. Sometimes we meditate. Sometimes we laugh way more than you’d expect in a grief group.

    The structure matters. The order matters. We have spent a lot of time crafting an experience where each week builds on the one before it, slowly creating safety and connection.

    This isn’t about “getting over” your grief. It’s about learning how to carry it differently with other women there to support you. 

    You start out as strangers and by the end of the 10-weeks, everyone is surprised at how much they don’t want it to end!

  • We focus specifically on the loss of a loved one.

    Whether that loss was recent or years ago, sudden or anticipated, complicated or straightforward — you’re welcome here.

    We believe there’s something powerful about sitting with other women who understand the particular ache of losing someone you love.

  • No, GWG is a structured community support experience.

    Some women are in therapy when they join us. Some aren’t. Both are welcome but we strongly believe that GWG works best when coupled with her own individual time to process and heal with the support of a licensed therapist. 

  • We get this question a lot.

    Grief is universal, but the season of life you’re in really shapes how you experience it. Losing someone in your 20s or 30s or 40s often means grieving while you’re building a career, navigating friendships, getting married (or not), trying to have a baby, raising little kids, or figuring out who you even are.

    When women are in similar life stages, there’s a kind of shorthand. The conversations feel easier. The “me too” feels real. The connection deepens more quickly.

    It’s not about excluding anyone. It’s about protecting the intimacy of the space and making sure women feel truly understood by others walking through a similar chapter.

  • The series is the core, but it’s often just the beginning!

    Throughout the year, we host drop-in sessions, Galentine’s gatherings, walks, yoga events, and other opportunities to come together.

    Because grief doesn’t end when the series does.

    Many women join for ten weeks and stay connected long after. It becomes less of a program and more of a family. The connections that have formed after the series ended or across series’ has been the most magical part to us. 

  • That’s normal and we’d be surprised if you weren’t! 

    Almost everyone comes in feeling unsure. Most women come alone. No one is expected to share more than they’re ready to. We move slowly and intentionally.

    You can arrive exactly as you are and we’ll handle the rest. 

From Our Clients

  • “Before joining GWG I felt so alone in my grief. This group allowed me to be vulnerable, relatable, and tap into creativity on my healing journey. Now that it’s been some time since the group ended, I can say that I’m feeling lighter, happier, and less lonely. It was such a healing experience.”

    - Michelle T.

  • “Just do it! Take the time for yourself and put yourself first. It’s the first step. It’s a safe space where you can feel vulnerable. And cry unapologetically! You will meet such a wonderful community of girls and form such a strong bond.”

    - Lindsey W.

  • “Before GWG, I felt very fragmented and lonely in my grief. I was desperately searching for a community or communal aspect of grief to combat the isolation and loneliness. After GWG, I feel more whole; more like myself. I definitely feel my spark coming back.”

    - Alayna Q.

  • “Overall it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It was very outside of my comfort zone but I am very happy I pushed myself. I have new tools and goals for myself, which feels amazing.”

    - Eileen M.

  • “The group became a support system during a period marked by many 'firsts' in my grief journey. It served as a much-needed outlet, and I am truly thankful for the series and the incredible ladies who openly shared their experiences.”

    - Katie H.

  • “GWG is good for the soul- I cannot rave about this experience enough! I looked forward to Wednesday nights when I got the chance to meet with this group. Emotionally and mentally your needs are met by talking to women who have similar experiences of grief as you and you are reminded that you are not alone. Physically, we participated in some great yoga and breathing exercises that I try to incorporate in my daily routine.”
