Grief and the sense of loss aren’t always associated with a death. Families can mourn the healthy, loving family they expected, and that ambiguous loss keeps the mind caught between hope and mourning, making it hard to move forward.

Friends and community often do not recognize the loss or offer support. Join us to name this grief, find hope in our own recovery, and discover the resilience that comes from connecting with others.
