Grief, Loss, & Learning Thanatology Specialist
Grief touches every part of life, often leaving us feeling disoriented and alone.
At This Thing Called Grief, our practitioners bring a thanatological perspective—the study of death, dying, and bereavement—informed and led by personal experience. We understand the many ways loss can shape a life and offer personalized, compassionate care to support your healing and resilience.
You don’t have to face this alone. We’re here to help you find meaning, peace, and connection as you navigate your grief.
