Participating in the Summer Grief Cohort with Katie was a very powerful experience. She offered new ways of processing and thinking about grief that were really helpful to my own understanding of grief. Katie also held a wonderful container where we were able to grieve in community, which is both a powerful thing to do and also helps show that we are not as alone in our grief as we sometimes feel. I have gained a number of new friendships through being a part of the community. Katie does a wonderful job of balancing being a leader of the group and a participant.

This came into my life exactly when I needed it. I was going through a rough patch dealing with multiple forms of grief. The structure of the cohort helped me to learn a lot and create helpful strategies to work with my grief, realize things I hadn’t thought of before, and feel so much support and a sense of being understood from my fellow disabled cohort members. Katie created such a gorgeous program, and I feel so lucky that I got to be apart of it.

Thank you for a well run group. Katie has such a gentle manner and is gifted at keeping the dialogue going. I loved the atmosphere and the broad approach to grief.

I loved the “Grief & Chronic Illness” virtual group hosted by Katie. There are so few places people with chronic illness can feel total emotional safety, and this is definitely one of them. We so often feel judged by the outside world, but inside these group sessions, we are free to completely be ourselves and to show up with all of our feelings. Everybody understands. There was deep, compassion and caring among our group members, and absolutely no negative judgment. Only “me too”! There is a lot of grief when living with chronic illness, but so few places to express it and discuss it. I learned so much, and it was very cathartic. I really feel like I found my people!
