Meet & Grieve: When Grief Hits Too Young
Grief doesn't always wait until you’re older. For many young adults, the overwhelming experience of loss - whether it's a devastating diagnosis, death, or another life-altering event - is often overlooked. While support exists for children and older folks, there's a huge gap when it comes to those in their teens, 20s, and 30s. That's why we're teaming up with our friends at Gray for Glioblastoma for this special Meet & Grieve. Hosted by Grieve Leave's founder, Rebecca Feinglos, in collaboration with Kate Snedeker of Gray for Glioblastoma, this virtual gathering is a much-needed space for young adults navigating grief. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, you can unload, connect with others who get it, or just listen - whatever you need, this space is for you.
