Grief Support Conversations

Our Grief Support Conversations are a supportive, virtual space for bereaved brain tumor community members to process their unique grief experience.

​​Led by Holly Gainsboro, National Brain Tumor Society’s Grief Support Conversations are an open, supportive space for bereaved brain tumor community members to share their experiences with grief among peers and under the guidance of a professional facilitator.

Grief Support Conversations welcome anyone who has lost a loved one to a brain tumor and offers participants the space to be heard while also providing tools and resources to support individuals through their grieving process. The group meets virtually on the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT for approximately an hour.

After you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to connect to the session. For more information, see our privacy policy.
