Grief as a Survivor: Holding Space for the Hard Stuff 

Grief shows up in so many ways—through triggers, transitions, and even in the moments we thought we were “doing okay.” This class is a space to discuss what it means to grieve as a survivor. We must explore the kind of grief that doesn’t consistently get named and the permission we don’t always give ourselves to feel it.
We’ll explore what it means to work with our experiences instead of fighting them, what real resilience feels like, and the difference between being met with empathy and being pitied. This isn’t about fixing—it’s about feeling, connecting, and building something softer together.
 
This space is for graduate students, staff and faculty who need room to breathe, reflect, and be held.
