A Space for Collective Grief

Creating Space for Collective Grieving

Hosted by William’s Be Yourself Challenge (WBYC)

WBYC is honored to offer our community a space for collective grieving. We have invited grief experts Claire Bidwell Smith and Angela Schellenberg to lead a heartfelt conversation on how we can navigate the profound loss we are all experiencing.

Claire and Angela will share their insights and guidance, followed by an open session where attendees can ask questions and share in a supportive environment.

Adults and teens are welcome. All belong here as we come together to mourn the tragic loss of young life — and to find comfort in community.
