Meet Meg - The Founder of Grieving Together
Following her mother's Stage IV Breast Cancer diagnosis in 2015, and death in 2016, Meg has dedicated herself to walking alongside others on their own grief journey.
Having experienced and witnessed the deep emotional and physical toll that loss can take, Meg recognized the profound need for compassionate guidance and support for individuals navigating the complex and often isolating journey of grief. She wanted to create a safe space for people to openly share their feelings, learn coping strategies, and connect with others who understand their pain. Her mission is to help people heal, find peace, and eventually rediscover hope in their lives, while honoring the unique grief journey of each individual.
In addition to her personal grief journey, she holds a Master’s Degree in Thanatology (the study of death, dying, grief, bereavement, and end-of-life issues) and is a Grief Counselor certified through the American Institute of Healthcare Professionals (AIHCP). She has been facilitating bereavement groups, providing support one on one, and educating the community about grief for the last 8 years,
