Often when someone we know and care about experiences a loss it can be challenging to know how to offer support. This workshop will focus on providing helpful tools, strategies, & information to anyone looking to learn how to better support those navigating grief due to the death of a loved one. Drawing from evidence-based practices as well as personal testimonies, participants will gain valuable insight into the unique challenges and needs accompanying the death of a loved one and how best to provide help in a way that transcends the isolation often felt by those managing grief and loss.

A Gathering for Those Living with Loss
with Gary Sturgis
This isn’t a workshop or a structured support group.
Instead, this gathering offers a quiet, welcoming space for those who are living with loss to come
together, without expectation, pressure, or agenda.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and there’s no “right way” to move through it. For many, what’s
needed most isn’t instruction, but simply a place to be, to sit among others who understand, in
whatever way feels right that day.
During this time together, Gary will gently host the space, offering light guidance if needed.
There may be moments of conversation, reflection, or simply quiet presence. Attendees are
welcome to share, to listen, or to remain silent.
There will also be space for those who wish to ask questions or share concerns about their own
grief journey, in a supportive and understanding setting.
All are welcome, wherever they are in their grief.
This is an in-person gathering, created to offer a sense of connection, understanding, and a
moment of not feeling so alone.
