After crashing out during Monday’s Olympic slalom in Borneo, Italy, Atle Lie McGrath didn’t stick around. He headed straight for the woods to process his grief. And the rest of us watched as he absorbed so much visible psychological load in real time.

Atle’s grandfather died on the day of the opening ceremony and he has worn a black mourning band around his arm during the competitions. It’s all a reminder that even here, real life doesn’t pause for the clock.

Atle. Ilia. Lindsey. Mikaela. 2026 feels like the year we’re really starting to see Olympians as whole people.

If the person you are grieving left behind a project that you've been meaning to finish, this event is for you!

The event is this weekend, so register now! Click below for more information.

“Threads of Connection” is a special community event in collaboration with Shannon Clare, a student at University of Michigan Medical School, that aims to bring bereaved people together to continue creating works that have been started by our loved ones and left incomplete after their passing. Whether you are an experienced crafter, or have never picked up a needle, we invite you to bring your loved ones’ unfinished textile projects (crochet, knitting, embroidery, or quilting) to continue the creations they have begun as we share stories of our loved ones.

Please join us THIS SUNDAY on February 22, 2-4 pm at Crazy Wisdom (114 S Main St, Ann Arbor). For more information about this event as well as to register, please visit 👉 www.grievewell.com/calendar 🧶! This is a FREE event but we ask that you register in advance to help us prepare. We look forward to spending time with you soon!

Our next "From Grief to New Hope" 8-Week Workshop will be on Mondays, February 23-April 13, 2026, from 6:45-8:30pm, offered in-person at Ward Church and virtually. If you have experienced the death of a loved one, please join us for our workshop, which combines the educational components of a seminar with the safety and support of a peer group. This workshop is for adults who are grieving the death of a loved one, regardless of how long it has been since the loss occurred. This workshop is a safe place to express your grief and begin the healing process. Each session includes a speaker presentation for all and a smaller group discussion time. These small groups are guided by facilitators who have also experienced similar losses and have traveled their own grief journey. This workshop is free, but registration is required.
Register: http://weblink.donorperfect.com/2026Workshops
Workshop registration will be closed after Week 1, and if you are unable to attend Week 1 or Week 2, you will be withdrawn from this workshop session and be given the option to re-enroll in our next session. Please call our office for more information at (248) 348-0115. Thank you!

When someone we love passes away, they often leave behind projects that remain unfinished – crocheting, knitting, sewing, or other handiwork that once carried their touch. Choosing to finish these projects is a way of staying connected. Each stitch becomes a continuation of the love...

Carry this affirmation with you today:
Physical absence does not diminish the bond between my baby and me. I am the guardian of their memory, and through me, their light continues to shine in the world. ✨

"If you ever wonder if I miss you, the answer is always. Some days it's fierce, but over time, it's become gentler, like a constant melody, your name pouring through my mind, on repeat. Your memory the undercurrent of my days." - Unknown 🧡

No matter how much time has passed . . . the answer is yes. We miss our people!
