Grief Is Not a Problem to Be Solved
For those of you who are mourning the death of a beloved person, home, dream, identity, or relationship...this is for you 🫀.
We're thrilled to announce Befriending Our Grief—a 4-week, in-person grief group where you can find community and discover ways to move through your grief rather than drowning in it alone.
A Different Approach to Grief
At Grounded Grief, we hold a core belief: Grief is not a problem to be solved, an illness to be healed, or an issue to be fixed.
Grief is meant to break us, reveal the truth of our hearts, and leave us transformed. Grief wants us to move. Grief wants to be a companion who walks within and alongside us for the rest of our lives.
And the more we can expand our capacity to hold our grief with tenderness and curiosity, the less afraid we become.
What Is Befriending Our Grief?
This 4-week group combines writing and movement as pathways to process and honor your grief. Led by Juniper Wong, LICSW, this offering creates space for you to:
Move your grief through gentle, accessible movement practices
Write your grief through guided prompts and reflection
Share your grief (or not—silence is always welcome too)
Connect with others who understand what it means to carry loss
Befriend your grief rather than fighting against it
Who This Is For
This group is for anyone mourning:
The death of a beloved person
The loss of a home or place
The death of a dream or hope
The loss of an identity or version of yourself
The end of a significant relationship
Any loss that has left you changed
You don't need to have your grief "figured out." You don't need to be "ready." You just need to be willing to show up and see what happens when you give your grief some room to breathe.
Why Writing and Movement?
Writing gives us language for what's often unspeakable. It creates a container for the overwhelming feelings and helps us understand what we're actually experiencing.
Movement reminds us that grief lives in our bodies, not just our minds. When we move, we give grief a pathway out—or at least through.
Together, these practices help us stay present with our grief rather than getting lost in it.
Group Details
When: Fridays at 3:15 PM; Starting May 16th, 2025 (4 consecutive weeks)
Led by: Juniper Wong, LICSW
Cost: Donation-based (no one turned away for lack of funds)

Why In-Person Matters
There's something irreplaceable about being in a room with other people who are also grieving. No screens. No distractions. Just bodies and hearts showing up together.
The space at Apa Kabar Teahouse provides a warm, welcoming environment where you can be exactly as you are—tears, laughter, silence, and all.
Meet Your Facilitator: Juniper Wong, LICSW
Juniper brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to this work. She knows that grief is not linear, that healing doesn't mean forgetting, and that sometimes the most helpful thing someone can do is simply witness your pain without trying to fix it.
