Our Healing Hearts Soiree Guest of Honor speakers bring the heart of our mission to life and help our guests understand why what we do matters so deeply.
Thank you, Sofi, for sharing your story about your dad and for speaking so beautifully about how The Grief Club has impacted you and your family 🧡
At The Grief Club, we are reminded every day that time with the people we love is one of life’s greatest gifts.
We Ran Out Of Time.
We thought there would be more. More ordinary mornings. More meals that went cold because we were too busy talking. More “I love yous” said without thinking, because surely there would always be another chance. We thought time was something we owned.
And then, without warning, the future we had been quietly assuming disappeared. There was no final conversation. No neat ending. No warning that the last ordinary moment was, in fact, the last. And then suddenly, you were gone.
That is one of the hardest parts when someone you love dies. It isn’t only their death. It is grieving every version of the life you were still supposed to have. The birthdays. The silly little conversations. The places you hadn’t been. The photographs you hadn’t taken. The things you hadn’t yet said.
I don’t think I will ever stop grieving the life that never got its chance. Because we didn’t run out of love. We didn’t run out of things to say. We didn’t run out of reasons to stay.
We ran out of time.

Hope comes full circle.
After the death of her dad, Evie and her family found healing and belonging at The Grief Club.
Now, she’s paying it forward with beaded Hope Geckos that she made, each carrying a heartfelt wish: that every grieving child who receives one remembers they are not alone and that hope remains.
“A little gecko. A lot of hope. Your hope gecko is a small reminder that love never fades, and hope can live in the tiniest of things. Carry it with you, hold it when you need comfort and know that you are not alone.”
What a beautiful gift when hope received becomes hope shared. 🦎🧡
We currently have some openings in the groups featured in this post.
All groups are facilitated by licensed mental health counselors and offered at no cost to participants. Registration is required.
If a group has a waitlist, we encourage you to join it. Waitlist registrations help us understand where the greatest needs are and guide us in determining which groups we may offer in the future.

The Grief Club of Minnesota is for families, young kids and teens who have lost a parent or loved one and are dealing with grief.
When I was 20, my dad passed away of a sudden heart attack. Dealing with grief is something I’m still dealing with. So that, combined with the fact that I’m so proud of my mom making it into a positive, and joining the Club, becoming a part of the board of directors, and working with the Club, is why I chose this cause.
