At the Voices of Grief Support and Education Center, we provide a lifeline of hope and healing for those navigating the pain of loss in the Pikes Peak Region. Our mission extends beyond direct support—we also empower our community with the knowledge and tools to embrace healthy grieving and mourning practices. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we can ensure our services remain accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us break down barriers and offer these essential, life-changing resources at little to no cost. Together, we can ensure no one faces grief alone.
Serving the Community:
Support: Our community events and support groups offer safe, affirming spaces where people are offered compassionate care and space to process their pain without judgment.
Education: We provide training and support opportunities both for the general community and professionals, expanding their understanding of grief and mourning, and equipping them to offer compassionate support through a person-centered approach.
Partnership: Our network of partnerships includes other organizations and providers who are skilled in offering grief support for particular needs. Through mutual referrals, this network is able to help the bereaved find access to the best care for their unique circumstances.
What some of our grief group participants have said:
“I cannot express how grateful I am that I got to attend the Voices of Grief support group. They carried me when I could not see a way out of the pain and suffering one experiences when their soul mate dies.”
“One of the best things about participating in a grief support group is the relief that comes with the realization, I’m not crazy and that other people have shared the same thoughts and acted in similar ways.”
“I felt welcome and understood from the very first meeting and that made all the difference in the world! I feel less alone and more connected.”
What professionals attending our trainings have said:
“The session allowed those feelings to surface in a healthy way, reminding me how essential it is to make room for our own humanity in the work we do.”
“I would wholeheartedly recommend Voices of Grief for anyone engaged in crisis response, mental health support, or caregiving roles. It was restorative, grounding, and deeply affirming – an experience that both honors the weight of our work and strengthens our capacity to continue it with clarity and compassion.”
Mission
We envision a compassionate culture of grief expression where loss is honored and hope nurtures healing.
Our mission is to create supportive spaces to honor the natural process of grief and to educate our community in healthy expressions of grief and mourning.
Background Statement
Our Key Values
‣ Grief is a normal, natural aspect of the human journey.
‣ Grief is not a disease to be treated or a problem to be solved.
‣ No one should have to grieve alone.
‣ We live in a grief-avoidant culture, but we can choose to honor our grief through acceptance, acknowledgement, and validation.
‣ We begin to reconcile our loss through mourning — which is simply the outward expression of our grief.
