Strong Daughters YYC
This sucks. But, you’re not alone.
About
Strong Daughters is a peer support group for young adult women grieving the loss of a parent. Kristin developed the group after losing her mom in 2011, after finding there weren’t many resources available for young women dealing with such a devastating loss. Melissa has since taken over managing the group in 2020.
This group gives women a safe space to reach out and connect with others going through the motions of loss. Grieving is an individual experience for everyone. But, the journey can be aided by being in a community with those who share a common experience.

Please email yycdaughters@gmail.com for more information and to discuss your situation.
I don’t really like speaking in front of groups, will I have to talk?
