Our Philosophy
Grief changes the journey. It doesn't have to end it.
Grief does not follow a timetable, and moving forward does not mean leaving someone behind. Journey Past Grief creates space to acknowledge loss honestly while helping people discover how life can continue with meaning, connection, and hope.
For Organizations
Bring meaningful grief support to your community
Journey Past Grief partners with organizations to bring professionally facilitated grief support directly to the people they serve. Every program is thoughtfully adapted to your setting, your community, and the needs of those experiencing loss.

About the Founder
Meet Stacey Gardner
Stacey Gardner founded Journey Past Grief after years of walking alongside people during the most significant moments of their lives. With a background as a liturgical coordinator, she brings a deep understanding of how communities gather, remember, and care for one another through loss.
That experience shapes Stacey's thoughtful, unhurried approach to grief — one that honors each person's story while recognizing grief in both personal and community settings.
