Why The Grievery?

The Grievery is a fresh, community-based approach to supporting employees through grief, loss, and transitions, centered on the cultivation of grief as a vital life skill.

We give leaders and teams the tools to connect with each other meaningfully, and to build support structures and practices that are a necessary dimension of care.

You're not alone in this!

We partner with organizational leaders to put together offerings that serve your particular culture and situation.

Where most wellness solutions focus just on individualized care, our approach to communal grief care leads to an improved sense of kinship to self and others — an improved sense of personal and cultural well-being.
