Blending Clinical Wisdom, Compassion, and the Guidance of Nature
About the Compassionate Grief Support Community
The Compassionate Grief Support Community
The Compassionate Grief Support Community is a heart-centered space created to walk beside you with empathy, presence, and understanding.
Whether you’re navigating loss, heartbreak, caregiving for an aging parent or loved one, facing a difficult diagnosis, or moving through one of life’s quiet turning points — you don’t have to do it alone.
My Mission
I offer gentle support that honors your unique path, helping you reconnect with moments of hope and meaning, even in times of uncertainty.
Alongside ongoing individual and group offerings, I provide thoughtfully designed educational experiences for organizations, caregivers, and professionals — each one rooted in compassion, lived experience, and the belief that how we show up for one another truly matters.
Join the Community
If this speaks to you, I invite you to explore the Compassionate Grief Support Community. You’ll find a variety of support options:
✅ A free Facebook group: Compassionate Support Community
✅ Free monthly Compassionate Support Circles — a space for connection and healing beyond the Facebook group
👉 Learn more or register for an upcoming Support Circle

The Compassionate Support Circle
Grief and change can leave us feeling unmoored — especially when the world expects us to carry on as if nothing has shifted. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, adjusting to a difficult diagnosis, caring for an aging parent, or quietly navigating a loss that others may not see, this is a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone.
The Compassionate Support Circle is a free, heart-centered gathering where we come together in community. There’s no need for the right words or a polished story. Just bring yourself. Here, we honor the full spectrum of loss, the complexity of caregiving, and the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up.
You’re Welcome Here
✨ You don’t have to fix anything.

Join our Facebook group to be part of a commuity where you will receive support through your journey. This does not take the place of counseling and is not therapy. Stay updated on upcoming events and workshops with Ellen.
