Walking into your first Grieving Hearts meeting can feel daunting, but you are not alone. We have designed our meetings to be a safe haven where you can just "be." We understand the courage it takes to step into a room of strangers when you are feeling vulnerable.

What You Can Expect

  • Warm Welcomes: You will be greeted by people who understand grief first-hand. No awkward explanations needed—just a smile and a seat.
  • Gentle Introductions: We facilitate introductions so you can settle in at your own pace. There is no spotlight put on you.
  • Quiet Spaces: If you need time to reflect before joining in, we have designated quiet areas where you can gather your thoughts.
  • Supportive Conversations: Our discussions are guided by compassion, not pressure. You are in a room of peers who truly get it.
  • Practical Resources: We provide pamphlets and guides to help you cope day-to-day with the practical side of loss.
  • Tea, Coffee & Comfort: A warm drink and a friendly atmosphere to remind you that comfort can be found in the small moments.

Need Reassurance First?

We understand that taking this step is often the hardest part. If you’d prefer, we can arrange a phone call or private meeting before you attend on Saturday, so you feel supported from the very beginning. This allows you to see a friendly face before you even walk through the door.

Our Promise

"At Grieving Hearts, there is no expectation to share before you’re ready. You can simply listen, connect, and take things one step at a time. Together, we build resilience, understanding, and hope."
