My Grief Angels is a 100% volunteer-created,developed and managed public non-profit for & by people grieving. All shared grief journeys and stories in this site are by real people grieving, and in some cases "AI Grief Avatars/Griefatars" are used to read and further highlight some of the incredibly powerful real-life shared stories. The support and information provided by all the volunteers in the peer-led virtual grief support groups, online chats - grief chat hours and other free online services are for general informational purposes and are not a substitute for professional mental health advice, diagnosis, or treatment - always consult your own mental health professional prior to joining any peer-led grief support group, online grief chat community or any other peer-led grief support services. Volunteers are not licensed therapists, counselors, or any other type of mental health professional - they are people grieving like yourself and volunteering their time to simply share their own grief journey and be present for others grieving or anticipating the death of a loved one. Therapy, diagnosis of conditions, and prescription of treatments are NOT offered.
Always consult with a qualified mental health professional for any concerns about mental health or well-being. Please always consult your mental health professionals on whether free open virtual peer-led grief support groups are appropriate for you - as they are not appropriate for everyone.

In a recent survey by My Grief Angels, the non-profit learned that the number 1 reason "people grieving loved ones" gave for not trying out Virtual Grief Support Groups was that they had never been in a support group and that they didn't know what went on in these groups.

In an effort to address the challenge cited above, Volunteers from My Grief Angels produced one of the first publicly available educational re-enactment examples of a full "Virtual Peerled Grief Support Group Meeting".

Our hope is that people grieving a loss but unfamiliar with these groups may be more open to testing one out.

ALWAYS check this calendar for any last minute unforeseen schedule change or addition to the schedule. Thank You.
