The Tender Corner: A Grief Circle for Breakups

When we lose someone we love and care about through death, our grief is acknowledged as worthy and even necessary and we are encouraged to lean into support and practices that nourish us. But when we go through a breakup, when we experience the end of a romantic relationship, the very real grief we experience over this rupture, over our lost hopes and dreams, is rarely honored or afforded the same compassion and care. This kind of grief is among the many disenfranchised griefs in our culture.

If you are struggling to make sense of your world after a breakup, if the weight of your emotions feels too heavy to bear, if friends and loved ones' only support is to encourage you to start dating again or remind you that you will find love again, if you are questioning why you can't "get over it," if you don't have a safe space to express your emotions and your truth, this careshop is for you.

Together, through storytelling, journaling, guided practice and ritual, we will honor the path of your broken heart. We will make room not only for what is tender and aching but for what could nourish and support you moving forward on your own timeline with the spaciousness you deserve.

It doesn't matter how long it's been since your relationship ended, how long the relationship lasted or how nontraditional the structure of your relationship may have looked. Your breakup grief is welcome here.
