Men Moving Forward

An activity-based grief support for men after loss. Do something meaningful. Spend time with people who understand. Move forward at your own pace.

Real Connections
A safe place to be heard and understood.

Moving Forward
We don't have to carry it alone. We move forward together.
Shared Purpose
 Building skills, confidence and something meaningful.
Strength in Community
Support, encouragement, and friendship make the journey lighter. 

A Different Kind Of Grief Support

Men Moving Forward brings men dealing with grief together around practical activities, fresh air, useful projects, and service. Conversation is welcome, but it is never forced. Sometimes support begins more naturally when we are walking side by side or working with our hands.

WALK

Easy-paced walks and coffee. A low-pressure way to get outside and spend time with other men who understand loss.

BUILD

Hands-on projects with a purpose. Make something useful, easy, learn a skill, and take home or give away what you create.

 

GIVE

Simple service projects that turn care into action and create connections through helping someone else.

You Won’t Be Asked to Tell Your Story

There is no pressure to speak, share personal details, or explain how you are feeling. You can participate in the activity, listen, talk about everyday things, talk about your loss, or simply be present. You decide what feels right.

Who It’s For
Men who are grieving the death of a spouse, partner, child, family member, or friend, and who may prefer doing something together rather than sitting in a traditional support-group circle.
No special skills are required. Come as you are, whether your loss is recent or happened years ago.


What a Gathering Looks Like
We begin with a brief welcome and an overview of the activity. Most of the time is spent walking, building, or serving together. Linda is available to guide the group and support conversation as it arises. We close simply, with no required sharing. Gatherings are intentionally small, relaxed, no-pressure, and practical.

FIRST GATHERING

BUILD: Things We Carry Forward

Join a small group to build a simple birdhouse and spend an easygoing morning alongside other men who have experienced loss. The project offers a natural way to be together, shoulder to shoulder rather than face-to-face, and a reminder that what matters can still be carried forward.

$15 Pilot Gathering

Includes all project materials and refreshments. Space is limited to 12 participants.

Date, time and location: To be announced
