A Place To Belong
It is human nature that we all want a place to go where we belong. A place where we feel accepted, welcomed, and understood.
We call our place of belonging a club.
The Grief Club of Minnesota.

There will be days when your grief is deep and consuming, dark and lonely.
We hope you find refuge in supportive friends, family, and counselors on the days when you most need someone to sit beside you in that darkness.
There will be days when your grief is a bit more subtle with buzzing in the background instead of being center stage.
We hope you don’t feel guilty for the days when this allows you to feel joy or hope. These days are so deeply important as you move forward at your own pace.
There will be days when your grief turns on a dime, demanding different things from you moment to moment, giving you emotional whiplash as you try and keep up.
We hope you are gentle with yourself on these days. Your heart is looking for ways to process a love that has changed due to loss (a love that is still present, but in a different way). That is a lot of work on a weary soul.
There will be days when your grief softens enough to allow your mind to wander in memories, to rejoice in remembering, to allow the light to trickle in to the most painful spaces.
And on those days, we hope you let the comfort wrap around you like a warm sweater. We hope you let the light in and feel it surrounding you.
Because grief will bring about many different kinds of days.
May we take all these days one moment, one breath at a time.

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
