Our Story

“Common Ground” reflects what we believe in at our core. Grief is a part of every human experience and is a natural response to loss. It can be painful and disorienting and can often feel lonely. It also opens the door to something powerful: shared understanding and support. Common Ground, exists because we believe that no one needs to grieve alone. At Common Ground, we foster spaces where grief meets community. Where thoughts and feelings can be expressed, where pain can be witnessed, where you have permission to grieve, and you don't feel so alone anymore. Our support groups take place online as well as in person in various locations in the greater Long Beach, California area and in Orange County, CA.
