Upcoming Grieve Leave Events:
Meet & Grieve: Navigating Grief In The Workplace AMA
Grief doesn't clock out when you clock in. At times, grief can feel amplified in the workplace - whether you're grieving a death, breakup, job loss, or any other life-altering event, the challenge of juggling those intense emotions while maintaining “professionalism” (whatever we think that means) can be overwhelming. And don't get us started on how three days of bereavement leave is nowhere near enough – we'll talk about this and more during our special "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) event focused on navigating how we handle our grief in the workplace. Rebecca Feinglos, founder of Grieve Leave, will provide insights, share her own experiences, and answer your questions about managing grief on the job.

Grief Onscreen: A Meet & Grieve Screening of Captain Scott B and the Great Adventure
Join us for a special Meet & Grieve exploring grief through the lens of the documentary, "Captain Scott B and the Great Adventure." Hosted by Grieve Leave's Rebecca Feinglos, and featuring Betsy Bertram, the film's co-producer and subject, this virtual gathering offers a unique opportunity to witness one woman's journey to find hope and meaning after the death of her father. Set against the stunning backdrop of North Carolina's natural beauty, the film follows Betsy as she embarks on a quest to complete her late father's project, uncovering his wisdom on living a magical life along the way. Through hiking, paddling, and kiteboarding adventures, Betsy invites us to consider what it means to live fully, even in the face of grief. After the screening, we'll open the floor for a Q&A with Betsy, diving into the film's themes and her personal experiences. Whether you've faced the death of a loved one or any other form of grief, this judgment-free space welcomes you to share, listen, and find solace among others who understand. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with the Grieve Leave community and explore the role of film in processing grief.

Meet & Grieve: When Grief Hits Too Young
Grief doesn't always wait until you’re older. For many young adults, the overwhelming experience of loss - whether it's a devastating diagnosis, death, or another life-altering event - is often overlooked. While support exists for children and older folks, there's a huge gap when it comes to those in their teens, 20s, and 30s. That's why we're teaming up with our friends at Gray for Glioblastoma for this special Meet & Grieve. Hosted by Grieve Leave's founder, Rebecca Feinglos, in collaboration with Kate Snedeker of Gray for Glioblastoma, this virtual gathering is a much-needed space for young adults navigating grief. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, you can unload, connect with others who get it, or just listen - whatever you need, this space is for you.
