Welcome to The Grief Gang Membership. This is a space built on honesty, care, and connection — a place to feel seen and supported in all the complexities of grief and life after loss.

To help keep this community safe and nurturing for everyone, we ask that all members honour the following principles when engaging in any space — whether that’s a support group, workshop, playback, chat, or comment thread.

1. Respect and Kindness

We meet one another with compassion, not comparison. Everyone’s grief looks and feels different. There’s no hierarchy or “right way” to grieve here. Listen deeply, speak kindly, and remember that this space is built on mutual respect.

2. Confidentiality

What’s shared in this community stays within it. Please don’t share anyone’s story, words, or experiences outside of the space, even with good intentions. Trust is what keeps this community strong.

3. Boundaries

You’re welcome to share openly, but please don’t offer unsolicited advice or try to “fix” anyone’s experience. We hold space with each other, not for each other. It’s okay to step back, take a pause, or switch off if something feels too heavy. Listen to your body and your own needs!

4. Presence and Participation

You don’t have to show up perfectly, just be present in whatever way you can. Cameras on or off, speaking or simply listening- all forms of participation are valid. Respect the flow of the session and the facilitator’s guidance.

5. Sensitivity and Care

Grief is deeply personal. Be mindful of your language and tone, and try to avoid comparisons or assumptions about others’ losses. If someone shares something difficult, it’s enough to simply acknowledge it — “thank you for sharing” goes a long way.

6. Self-Care

You are always your own priority. If something feels too much, take a breath, mute yourself, step away, or message a facilitator privately. Your wellbeing comes first, always.

7. Zero Tolerance

Disrespect, discrimination, harassment, or harmful behaviour of any kind won’t be tolerated in this community. We reserve the right to remove anyone whose conduct compromises the safety or integrity of the space.

8. Feedback and Communication

This space is always evolving. If you have suggestions, concerns, or feedback about your experience, we want to hear from you. You can contact us directly or share anonymously via our feedback form linked here.

In Summary

This community exists because of the care, honesty, and integrity each person brings into it. Thank you for helping to make it what it is — a place where we can grieve, grow, and connect together.
