Common Ground Grief exists to ensure no child, teen, or adult grieves alone. While our programs have existed in the Long Beach area, we've received requests from individuals and community organizations in Orange County and we've recently started offering services in Orange County cities. We're ready to expand that support even further and invitue you to join us. At the launch event, we want to share about the impact of grief support for individuals and communities, establish additional community connections, and raise funds to ensure our programs remain low cost or free for those who need them.

2025 - 2026 Impact

What we're bringing to Orange County
Our model works because it brings people together who share the same experience. We do this through peer support groups, family workshops, one-day grief camps, and remembrance experiences where people can feel that they're not alone. This year, we sat with people who have shared about their loss, some for the first time. We watched families who met at camp make plans to see each other again.
We're honored to help guide people through their grieving journey with programs that are free or low-cost. Grief doesn't stop at a county line, and Orange County organizations, individuals, and families have been reaching out for the exact programs we already offer in the Long Beach area. On September 24th, we're holding our official launch event to share that Common Ground Grief is here and to connect with the community partners, resources, and individuals who share our goals and believe in our mission.
"The community has given me a place and just a comfortable space to grieve. Having that space dedicated to just being sad and not feeling like a burden and knowing that these other people are going to understand exactly what you’re feeling."
