About this group
This is a Free pop up group for those in grief during this challenging time. It is for anyone in grief who has had a loved one die. So many who depended on in-person grief groups are suddenly left with little support. Grief is already isolating even when we are not disconnect. Please let other know about this new resource.

Promos ,Sales, Online Matter, Spam or $ requests
Give more than you take to this group. Don't post promotion of products, services, sales, spam, books, online matter & links. Even though most are good, please don't lure people to other sites.

No Advice giving, Fixing or Politics in the chat
Speak from your own experience. The world is full of people who are trying to fix us. We are not broken, we are in grief and do not need fixing. Keep our discussion solely focused on grief.
