Grief Peer Meet

Service Description

This space is for people living with grief — whether recent or long-held, expected or sudden, visible or invisible. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t always come from the losses people expect. This meet offers a place to remember, speak, listen, and sit with loss in a way that honours both pain and memory. You’re welcome to participate in the way that feels right for you. Speaking is optional. Listening counts. What to expect These sessions are facilitated by someone with lived experience relevant to the group. They hold the space with care, without directing, diagnosing, or fixing. Each session: is conversational and participant-led values listening as much as speaking begins with shared group norms ends with a short grounding or closing reflection Topics vary each time and are shaped by what participants bring into the room. This is not a therapy group. It is a peer-led space for connection and mutual support.

If there is only one registration, the session will be cancelled. Registered participants will be informed by 3:00 pm on the day of the session, or at least one hour before it begins — whichever is earlier. Registering helps ensure the session goes ahead as planned. Boundaries & safety This space is based on shared experience, not advice-giving or fixing. Participation is always voluntary and confidentiality is respected. If someone appears to be at risk of harm to themselves or others, facilitators follow Agatsu’s internal safety protocols.
