No one should have
to grieve alone…
Here, you don’t have to.
The Friends Missing Friends Collective is a loving, supportive community for people grieving the death of a friend.
Join for only $20/month!
You’re tired of feeling isolated and misunderstood on top of your grief.
Your friend means the world to you, and yet society is dismissing your grief.
You wish you could be with others who GET it without you having to explain.
You wish you could have space to talk about your friend without making people feel “uncomfortable” (because they can’t handle the grief).
You’re sick of pretending like you’re doing okay, when you’re not.
You wish you could plug into a community of friend-loss grievers without having to create one yourself.
I understand.
10 years ago after my friend Lauren’s death, I had no idea where to turn. I had a therapist, yes, but that was one hour a week. What about the other 167 hours? How was I supposed to get through them?
Especially with disenfranchised grief, we need community. We need to be seen, heard, and understood.
But guess what? Most of the time, in modern day life, we do not get fully and deeply witnessed.
Then it hit me.
What if there was an existing community of people grieving friends, and it was easy to find them & reach out to them for support?
That is why I launched
The Friends Missing Friends Collective.
THE FRIENDS MISSING FRIENDS COLLECTIVE
THE FRIENDS MISSING FRIENDS COLLECTIVE
I think it takes a village to support someone in grief.
That’s why for only $20/month, membership includes monthly peer-support groups, a private Discord to chat with other members, 1:1 support, & a digital library of grief resources.
*No long-term commitment required & you can cancel anytime.
WHAT IS THE Friends Missing Friends COLLECTIVE?
My friend loss happened over a decade ago, and while my grief felt more integrated into my life I still wanted to find a community of others who went through a shared experience (specifically re friend loss). I am grateful to have a space and community where people have gone through a shared experience and loss; it feels both validating and comforting.

Upcoming Peer-Support Groups
If Wednesday afternoons and Thursday evenings never work for you but you are interested in joining, please let me know! I've been choosing the dates & times based on the group's general availability, so I don't want scheduling to be a barrier.
*Zoom and video are required to join the groups
HOW IT WORKS
I have questions first…
You can email me any time with questions. I’m also happy to chat 1:1 via Zoom if you’d like to meet first!
I’m ready to join!
Go to this link here, or click any of the “Join today” buttons on this page. In less than ~2-mins, you can sign-up! The payments are set-up as a subscription, so it will withdraw $20 every month. But no worries — you can cancel anytime!
What happens after I join?
Once you sign up, you’ll get an automated email with all the details you need to get started. This includes info on the upcoming Peer-Support groups (& how to join), invite to the private Discord channel, links to set up 1:1 sessions, & instant access to the digital resource library. If you have questions about any of it, reach out anytime at friendsmissingfriends[at]gmail[dot]com.
We’re so honored to have you here.
Overwhelmed by all the options? Don’t want or need it all?
Think of it like this: even if you only attend one group session a month & nothing else, you are still getting a steal at $20.
I designed it that way — because I know first-hand the overwhelm of deep grief. The various forms of support are there for you, anytime, if and when you want them.
Right now, if all you can handle is to jump on one Zoom call and not say a word, that is perfectly okay. And you are still getting your money’s worth.
If you’re ready to dive in, or want to give it a try, click the button below.
“The discord channel has been helpful for me to both give and receive support in a safe, warm, inviting platform. As a working parent, I have limited time these days — so having a flexible space like this has been especially beneficial for me to process and connect when I have capacity to do so.”

FAQs

Yes! This will be a monthly subscription that you can cancel at anytime. When you set up the subscription, you create a log-in. To cancel, just log-in and follow the prompts to stop payments. Feel free to email me at friendsmissingfriends@gmail.com if you have questions.
-
Currently, the groups will be online via Zoom. As the community continues to grow, I’d love to incorporate in-person as well for those who want it!
-
Sharing in the groups is always optional. Deep listening is also an incredibly valuable way to contribute to a group. Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself!
-
Absolute not! Think of all the offerings as a menu for you to choose from. For instance, maybe you want to participate in the Discord server, or maybe you don’t like group-chats. Both are totally okay.
-
I’ll post upcoming dates on this page, but don’t let it deter you if you’re not free! I pick the dates/times based on the groups’ general availability, so send me an email about scheduling concerns/questions and we’ll chat!

As of Spring 2026, the Collective is still new and growing. Currently, there could be anywhere from ~3 to 8 people per session. As more people join the Collective, the groups will get bigger. However, I want to make sure people feel like they have the time and space to share -- so I'll make sure they don't get too crowded (and will add more sessions per month when that happens).

Don't worry! Lots of people who join The Collective are brand-new to Discord. I'm happy to send you tutorials, or walk you through it via Zoom! If you've never seen it before or don't know what it is, it's a free & user-friendly way to chat with people on your phone or computer (on your phone, it's very similar to WhatsApp). It's a great way for you to be connected with other Collective members in-between Zoom sessions. Also: if you don't like text group-chatting, no worries! It's not required for you to participate in :)
