In the wake of Hurricane Helene, so many of us find ourselves navigating a path we never expected to walk. The loss we've faced-whether of homes, communities, or loved ones-has altered our lives in profound ways. Moving through this grief is a process, but one we don't have to face alone.

Each of us carries our own story of loss. It might be the loss of a place we called home, the people who made us feel safe, or the sense of stability we once had. But as grief binds us, it can also become lighter when shared within a community of understanding and support.

These Spaces are designed for us to come together, to mourn the lives we once knew, and to lift each other up as we move forward. They are places to cry, to feel disconnected, or to be angry. You are welcome here, no matter where you are on your journey with grief. We see you, we understand, because we are you.

Here are a few examples of the reflections we explore together in these Spaces:

• If you could return to a place or moment before the storm, what would it be? What would you hold onto?
• How has surviving the hurricane changed your perspective on loss and recovery?
• In what ways do you feel the weight of this grief in your body, and how have you found release?

"Grief, I've learned, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go." -Jamie Anderson

These Spaces invite you to share your story, to process your pain, and to feel the support of a community that understands what it means to lose-and to keep moving forward.
