Partner Loss.
What is it?
Partner Loss is a peer to peer support meeting and non-judgemental space for anyone who is grieving the death of their partner to come together with others who understand, and acknowledge, the nuances of their grief.
TNN recognises that, historically, support for bereaved partners has not always been available to all types of partners, but our space is an inclusive one.
Anyone who has experienced the death of a partner is welcome, regardless of marital status, length of relationship, sexual orientation, age, gender identity, heritage, religion, with or without children, current relationship status, complex relationship, etc.
Virtual Meetings:
Zoom UK
Fortnightly
Sunday 7.30pm (UK)
Why did it start?
Partner Loss, launched in June 2022, was created to give voice and space to attendees who often felt they could not fully relate to discussions in Good Grief meetings: this meeting allows attendees to navigate this ‘new normal’ through shared experience and connection with others who really ‘get’ it.
The meeting was created by attendees who have themselves experienced the death of a partner, and it continues to be run and hosted this way.
“Attending Good Grief meetings with The New Normal has undoubtedly saved my life, as I struggled to cope with the death of my husband.
The genuine connection and support I have received, from all types of grievers, has been massively important to both my grief and mental health journeys.
Now, with the creation of the Partner Loss meeting, I can share and connect with people who truly understand the complexities and nuances of grieving a partner, and your own future, all in one loss.”
Hollie, founding Host of Partner Loss
What to expect?
The meetings were created to give space to openly discuss experiences of grief in an empathetic environment, in the knowledge that they are shared with others who can relate.
