Griefhab, Grand Rapids, MI (2026)

Founded by Samantha Ruth, Griefhab™ offers therapy, groups, crisis care, and community events. I’m Samantha Ruth, and I’m a Psychologist, Speaker, Podcast Host of The Be Ruthless Show, and Best Selling Author. I help people around the world turn their pain into their power by guiding them to be their true selves not who they think they need to be, by embracing their differences, and by living life

on their own terms. My mission is to change the way the world views both grief and mental health, so people can openly speak about whatever issues they have and get the help they not only need but deserve without fear of judgment, labels, and repercussions. I am the proud founder of Griefhab, a 24/7 community open to anyone who has experienced a loss. After personally living through this, I realized just how much support I needed on a daily basis. I vowed to create these services so that others would have more support available in their times of need. In my free time, you can find me and my pups, Sassy and Dallas, on one of our outdoor adventures. We love living in Colorado and never miss an opportunity to explore our beautiful surroundings. Music fuels my soul, family means everything to me, and honoring my late husband, Jim, and making him proud gives my life daily purpose. Contact me to learn how to work with me individually or to learn how to have me as a keynote speaker at your event or organization at sam@samantharuth.com

This isn’t easy for me - but it’s really necessary. Please help me share this with any and all animal lovers - DO IT FOR DALLAS!! I refuse to let her suffer because irresponsible dog owners aren’t doing the right thing. We’ve already been to the emergency vet, multiple follow ups, the specialist/consult - and we’re only on the road to determining what’s wrong. Her surgery and scan on May 13th will be at least $5000 -and we don’t know what we’ll find. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep - because when Dallas sleeps, I can’t tell if she’s breathing, and I’m not going to take any chances. I thought I was losing my mind but it’s getting progressively worse. May 13th seems like forever - but what’s even better?

They called it a scuffle!

I’m already working to change grief grief laws -
Now we’re adding some animal rights laws to my list -

Thank you for any prayers, shares, dollars, and guidance along our way
🙏🐾❤️ If you have experience or connections in something like this, please reach out. Much appreciated!!

I’ve been pretty quiet over here, completely focused on taking care of Dallas.

It’s emotional.

Tomorrow will be 14 years since I lost Harlie.
Wednesday, Dallas is seeing a specialist for imaging and a CTScan (which will take place the following week).

And I’m just literally doing my best….. to keep it together most days!! She saved me and Sassy after we lost Jim. Now I’m doing any and everything to save her.

I’m so grateful to have all of the love and support from all of you, the very best friends and family, and all of my amazing clients. Everyone has been checking on us, meeting virtually so I can be with Dallas, and rearranging appointments so we can keep all her appointments. THANK YOU ALL ❤️ it means absolutely everything.

I’ve made the decision to work remotely for the summer. It’s the only way Dallas will heal, and I need some healing, too.

It’s what I say in every workshop I run: your only job is to survive and heal. I live by my own model - so that’s our plan. Thank you for understanding and for all of the love ❤️

Events and in person appointments are on pause - but there’s still some massively exciting things happening with me and Griefhab….. this fall!

Dallas matters most - so please keep sending her all of your love 🙏❤️

👂 LISTEN UP

Mental health impacts our entire population. It always has - we’re just now starting to acknowledge it.

🚨 Clients are often put on waitlists, some programs don’t exist in this city or for that age group, providers can’t meet the demand in this world’s climate, and

‼️ Funding is being cut everywhere!

So many people assume this means they can’t get the help they deserve. A new client cancelled a first appointment when her insurance notified her of a large deductible.

There are other options - but they’re NOT advertised.

DON’T believe everything you hear. Reach out to someone who professionally advocates for you and make sure you’re getting accurate information!

SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE!!! It’s the professionals job to find it for you.

Find the right professional ❤️
Reach out anytime ❤️
