Grief Writing Workshops | Support Through Loss, Healing & Creative Expression

Are you feeling overwhelmed by grief, loss or bereavement? You are not alone. Grief can feel isolating, even when surrounded by others, leaving you with a heavy heart and emotions that are difficult to express.

Grief is a deeply personal and complex journey. It may arise from many experiences — the loss of a loved one, a long illness, dementia, sudden bereavement, or even challenging relationships. Alongside sadness, you may also feel guilt, anger, confusion, or even moments of relief. All of these emotions are valid and deserve space to be acknowledged.

My online grief writing workshops offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can gently explore your feelings through creative expression. Writing can help release emotional tension, bring clarity, and allow you to process grief in a way that feels natural and manageable.

Through guided writing exercises and compassionate support, you will be encouraged to “lean into grief” — allowing emotions to flow rather than holding them back. This approach helps you carry grief more gently, while creating space for healing, connection and understanding.

At the heart of this work is the belief that grief and love are deeply connected. By expressing your thoughts, sharing your story, and allowing yourself to feel, you can begin to find a sense of balance and peace, while keeping the memory of your loved one close.

My Story

My own journey with grief began with the loss of my parents. After my mother’s passing, I chose to approach grief differently — allowing myself to fully feel, express and honour my emotions. Through this, I discovered that even within deep sadness, there can be moments of connection, meaning and quiet strength.

Attending a grief workshop in Ireland became a turning point. Sharing stories, writing, and creative expression helped me process my loss and reconnect with life in a meaningful way. It is this experience that inspired me to create Grief Speaks and offer writing workshops to support others.

GRIEF SPEAKS sessions, occur regularly on Zoom, to provide a supportive platform for individuals to navigate the complex emotions of loss with love as the guiding force. Within this virtual space, I create an environment that encourages gentle exploration, expression, and release of grief through creative and mindful activities. Participants engage in the process individually, using pen and paper, while also finding solace in the company of others who share this sacred space of grief. These fellow companions possess a profound comprehension of the depths of your sorrow, and their compassion serves as a soothing balm for your unique experience of loss. (you can do the workshop with camera and mike off if social engagement is too taxing at this time)

What will be expected of me?

During the workshop, we explore grief through poetry and prose. You don’t have to be a writer, many of the simplest poems are significant in their own right. Writing is a powerful ritual, allowing you to express grief through a little structure. Through this process, you'll find comfort and as I did a little peace in grief.

Grief has no time limit. It doesn't matter if you lost someone recently or a long time ago. The workshop offers a safe and supportive space for you to connect with the person who has died. Through quiet reflection, you can explore your own journey of loss. You can express and deal with your emotions at your own pace and in your own style. You will also write a monument poem to your loved one.
