8 weeks, together, plus a private session — for the loss of a child, at any age, for any reason.

A Grief Circle for Bereaved Parents

There Is No Word for What You Are Feeling. But There Is a Room for What You Carry.

8 weeks, together, plus a private session — for the loss of a child, at any age.

This grief has no map, no timeline, no “getting over it.” It only has the truth: you loved them, you love them still, and that love now lives inside an unbearable absence. This circle exists so you never have to carry that alone.

You Might Belong Here If…

The world moved on weeks or years ago. You haven’t, and you’re tired of pretending you have.

You’re surrounded by people who love you and still don’t understand.

You need a room where you can say your child’s name out loud, as many times as you need to.

You’re parenting other children, or a marriage, or a job — while quietly breaking inside.

“I have spent years as a chapter leader for The Compassionate Friends, sitting with bereaved parents. This circle carries that same sacred ground — held with the deepest care I know how to give.”

How the Circle Works

Weeks 1–2

Being Witnessed

You tell your story, fully, without anyone trying to fix it or rush you past it. Just being truly heard begins the healing.

Weeks 3–5

Moving Through, Not Around

Guided grief and somatic practices — drawn from my Certified Grief Yoga® training — to help the grief move through your body, not just your mind.

Weeks 6–7

Finding the Light Again

Gently, without ever rushing you, we turn toward what it means to carry this loss and still find moments of light, connection, and life.

Week 8

Carrying It Forward, Together

We close as a circle — with what you’ll carry forward, and the truth that you never have to carry it alone again.

Bonus

Your Private Session

A private session just for you — to say your child’s name as many times as you need, to talk about what the group setting can’t hold, or to simply be witnessed one on one in a grief this specific.

Small group of 6–10, virtual, 90-minute sessions, weekly for 8 weeks — plus one private one-on-one session, just for you.

“The light was never extinguished in you. It lives within your loss — waiting to be found. And you don’t have to find it alone.”

— Debbie Rivera
