Breathing Hope
Back into Lives

Join us throughout 2026 as we gather to breathe hope together. Each quarter, we create space for honest conversation, shared experience, and healing community. Whether you're walking through grief yourself or supporting someone who is, you belong here. Our events are designed to meet you where you are—offering practical tools, compassionate support, and the reminder that you don't have to navigate loss alone. 

May 16: First Responders & Medical Professionals

For those who carry others' grief. First responders and medical professionals face a unique burden—witnessing trauma and loss as part of their calling. This event creates sacred space to acknowledge the emotional toll of caring for others in their darkest moments. We'll explore healthy ways to process occupational grief, prevent compassion fatigue, and find renewal amid the weight of what you carry. Whether you've recently experienced a difficult call or have been carrying accumulated loss for years, this gathering is for you.

July 18: Supporting Someone Who is Grieving

How to show up for someone you love. When someone you care about is grieving, it's natural to feel uncertain about what to say or how to help. This event is designed for friends, family members, coworkers, and anyone who wants to offer meaningful support without causing unintentional harm. We'll talk about what grieving people actually need, the phrases that help versus hurt, and practical ways to show up over the long haul. Because sometimes the most loving thing you can do is learn how to walk alongside someone in their pain.

November 14: Navigating Holidays and Milestones

Getting through what used to be special. The first birthday without them. The empty chair at Thanksgiving. The anniversary that now marks loss instead of celebration. Holidays and milestones have a way of intensifying grief, making what should be joyful feel unbearable. This event offers practical strategies for navigating these painful markers, honoring your person while still participating in life, and finding ways to create new meaning without forgetting. You'll leave with tools to help you make it through—and permission to do it your own way.
