W E L C O M E

The "Chat Lounges" are are available 24/7 for open chatting by all members. Private chat rooms are provided for scheduled weekly chats specific to a certain type of loss such as Loss of A Spouse/Partner, Loss of A Parent or Grandparent, etc. (See schedule lower right).

Please respect everyone's views, privacy and losses at all times. We are here to support one another first and foremost, not to judge anyone. To offer and receive effective peer support, it is important to assume that members are here for obvious AND not-so-obvious reasons related to their loss and personal pain.

Everyone has joined the MyGriefSpace.Net Community for similar reasons, and members are encouraged to visit Blogs, Classified Pen Pals, Member Profile, etc., to locate others who have experienced a loss similar in nature to your own. You can then reach out via internal email and/or invite these members to chat, if you wish.

If you belong to a Grief Support Group in your community, please feel free to invite them to join our site. We can designate a private chat room for your group, upon request (support@mygriefspace.net).

Don't forget your family and friends who may also use our chat rooms to support you.

NOTE: Not everyone who is grieving a loss is ready to chat with others (and some are here only to use other resources such as private journaling), so please respect every members' choices. Some members may wish to observe chats but not participate, and that is absolutely permissible.
