This Tuesday, September 1st from 4:30-5:30pm Pacific and the first Tuesday of each month.

Supporting someone through the VSED process can imprint layers of grief.

A virtual community offering, this is a group for conversations and care between a group of people with a shared experience.

This group is not for people who are choosing VSED but for those who have already supported someone through the process.

It's the last Tuesday of the month, next week, and the third offering of Grief Care After Su***de Loss

Tuesday, August 25th
6:30-7:30pm Pacific
on Zoom

Hosted by A Sacred Passing and Faces of Fortitude and facilitated by a small rotating group of facilitators. This space is a space where people find themselves brought together by the shared commonality of losing someone in their life by su***de. This is a space unlike most traditional su***de loss support groups and we hope that you will be held in ways softly surprise you.

This space isn't a therapy group, a space to judge how people feel, how they grieve or process, it is also not a place for advice - not from facilitators or attendees.

We ask that people have supports to regulate and care for themself during and after this meeting. The Zoom room entrance closes at 10 minutes past the hour. No late attendees will be admitted out of kindness, trust, respect for the space we are holding and those sharing

Our group will be a small group, and capped at 12 for the first 3 months as we grow into holding this space

Today we gathered to film a run through of an ingestion day for someone accessing aid in dying medications.
The two stars of the day were loves Rebecca Dandy, played by Rebecca Hudson and her long time love Sadie Dandy, played by Sadie Schnitzler. Rebecca was a kazoo playing red nose wearing clown and her wife Sadie came with all the questions and loving need to be prepared.

Oh…. And Poppy even came by and played herself! Lana and Kasey are brilliant producers and it is bittersweet to be wrapping up our part in this 7 year project. We have a couple more days of filming and as they say- that’s a wrap! Lana Smithner Greenleaf Porkchop Sadie Schnitzler Rebecca Grossman The Good Witch - wish we could tag Sonny from quality compounding pharmacy for coming out and playing the role of pharmacist ☺️

Grief and Care Under Capitalism

This Wednesday, August 19th
7-9pm Pacific on Zoom

Whoever and wherever you are,
you're welcome here.
Just do your time zone math 🌏🕖💜

Feeling exploited and exhausted by capitalism?

We are in a constant state of collective grief.
Come talk about it or just be with other humans who get it for a couple hours.

Grief doesn't occur only when someone dies. Struggling under the weight of racial capitalism, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of violence and oppression that we navigate daily takes a toll on us that we are often not consciously aware of. When people feel inexplicably sad, burnt out, or tired as hell, "you need better self-care" is the response that is too often thrown back at us. We can work as hard as possible to care of ourselves, but there are limits to healing when we are inundated with trauma that we cannot control.

This support group is for people needing a space to talk with other folks who feel exploited and exhausted by capitalism. Most grief support groups are death-related, so we at A Sacred Passing decided to offer a space to grieve the other ways in which we struggle.

No need to register, join direct at: bit.ly/griefandcare (link is case sensitive)

Starting in October we will begin a one time registration for this group to receive a new Zoom link.

As usual, there is a ten minute grace period for those joining late out of respect for the vulnerability and flow of the group.

When we are in grief often the advice is to talk to someone about it.

But what if that is not where you are at?

This Saturday, August 15th from 12-1:30pm Pacific on Zoom, A Sacred Passing presents our August 2026 Community Education Webinar

Grief Without Talk: Exploring and Expressing Grief as a Non-Verbal Griever

This webinar is for you if you want to...

- explore your own grief in your own time and space
- express your grief without talking to anyone
- support others who are not ready or not able to talk about their loss and grief

This offering, from 2025 deathcare resident Mary Ancheta, will provide support in understanding the neuroscience of grief and assist attendees in establishing a personal practice in creative grief exploration/expression that doesn't require being verbal.
