Grief and Loss Anonymous

Grief and Loss Anonymous is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition-oriented fellowship based on the model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous. Ours is a fellowship of individuals who seek to find peace, healing, and meaning as we navigate the challenges of loss. Whether we are grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or any profound change in our life, all are welcome here.

We come together to share our experience, strength, and hope, recognizing that while grief is deeply personal, healing can happen in community. Together, we let go of isolation, embrace acceptance, and rediscover purpose.

Grief and Loss Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, political organization, or institution. We are self-supporting through our own contributions, and our primary purpose is to offer support to those on a journey of healing from grief and loss.

In this space, we practice confidentiality, respect, and compassion. We listen without judgment and speak without shame.

There are no dues, fees, or prerequisites for membership —only a willingness to heal and grow.

As part of our journey, we use a variety of resources to support our healing. These include:

- The Twelve Steps of G.L.A. Recovery – They are our spiritual framework for growth.

- Sharing and Support – In meetings and with sponsors, we share our healing journeys.

- Recovery Tools – We grow our well-being by doing the work of recovery.

- Sponsorship – In one-on-one recovery relationships we experience encouragement, accountability, and support

- Spirituality – Through conscious contact with a Higher Power we connect with and grow the best in ourselves.

Together, we honor the past, live fully in the present, and create hope for the future.
