Grief Support Network

About

MISSION

To transform the way individuals and our culture experience loss.

We accomplish this by offering a mindful approach to grieving through meditation, yoga / movement, personal growth work and the art of listening as a pathway to healing in connection with self and community.

VISION

A culture that does not run from grief but embraces it as an opportunity for growth and connection.

HISTORY

GSN, a positive and life-affirming organization, was born out of an unimaginable loss. In 2008, GSN Founder Wendy Black Stern’s son Noah passed away at the tender age of nine months. Through her own grief journey, Stern’s life was forever changed. She saw an opportunity in the community to change the way we perceive and process the human experience of grief. GSN was created to empower people to transform through their experience of grief and loss and to break the stigma around grief in our culture, offering support for all kinds of loss, at any phase of the grief process.

All of the artwork in our gallery has been created by an artist inspired to create in their grief experience and donated to the Grief Support Network to support this campaign. Net proceeds of each purchase will directly benefit our grieving neighbors through GSN’s programs and resources.
