“Common Ground” isn’t just what we call this initiative—it reflects what we believe in at our core. It’s the place, yes—Wrigley Coffee, our starting home (huge thanks to them)—but also the feeling of connection we’re creating. Grief is universal. It doesn’t care who you are—it levels us, humbles us. But in that, it also opens the door to something powerful: shared understanding. At Common Ground, we turn that shared experience into support. Into belonging. Into healing. Because when stories are heard, and pain is witnessed—we don’t feel so alone anymore. And that’s where transformation begins.
