Sundays, 2–3 PM Eastern Time
Via Zoom
FREE for all—and always!
I have come to believe that if you can learn to write about grief as you have truly experienced it, you can write anything. Grief Writing Sundays have been happening since November 2020. These are drop-in classes, so don’t feel pressure to come every time—just join as you can! These sessions are TRULY for all levels. No prior writing experience is needed.
Each session includes a 10-minute craft lesson, a gentle prompt, and some quiet writing time together. You can quietly join with your camera off the whole time if that’s what feels right for you, but we end with readings from those who wish to share. I know this class can feel therapeutic, but I never intend them to be a replacement for therapy; our main focus will be on how to write our hardest stories.
To get on the invitation list, please send me a message via my Contact Form. Just be sure to include your email address so I can send you the Zoom link before each class starts.
Next 2026 Class Dates:
July 19: You’re invited to the ZOOM Book Launch for LETTING GRIEF SPEAK: WRITING PORTALS FOR LIFE AFTER LOSS. This is the book based on the work we’ve been doing in Grief Writing Sundays since 2020. There will be readings, writing and sharing time, giveaways, and surprises. If you haven’t already purchased your copy, it’s available now wherever books are sold!
Join Us on Substack!
I try to recap most of our Sundays together on my Substack, and I’m about to begin a self-paced video series taking subscribers through all the grief writing portals we’ve ever done together.
Grief Resources
In our class, we focus on writing our hard stories. I always try to offer craft lessons that are gentle, but we never know how we might react to an image, a feeling, even a word. If you are feeling overwhelmed by grief, you might find support from a trained counselor or comfort in a grief support group.
