We lead story-driven gatherings and workshops that help people navigate loss with hope and community.
When grief goes unsupported, people suffer in isolation. We believe there’s a better way to heal. Story-driven experiences offer hurting people a safe space for connection, hope, and shared language for what they’re carrying.

Salt in the wound of tragedy is what happens long after the loss. While others can forget your pain, you can’t stop feeling it. Silence and disconnection become far too normal.

April 14th, 2015, was the worst day of my life. My brother died, and the two years that followed were dark enough to convince me that tragedy was going to ruin me.
Then, two years to the date of his passing, my newborn daughter took her first unassisted breath. A truth hit me: tragedy doesn't ruin anyone. Hopelessness does.
To lose something is the most human experience there is, but too many of us try to heal alone. Isolation is poor soil for growth. Healing takes root when loss is revisited in a safe community, when stories remind us we're not carrying this by ourselves.
Grief doesn't have a finish line. But together, we go on.
Our podcast explores four modes (body, oral, written, and sign) through story and conversation that help you notice how you’re being shaped by grief.

The We Go On tour is for everyone, because two things are true of all humans: we all have something to grieve, and we all have people to comfort in their grief. This universal human experience is why people across all races, cultures, and socioeconomic demographics have found hope at a We Go On event.
We have worked with churches, schools, hospitals, and other organizations to help their communities become more relationally resilient. This has looked like in-person workshops or trainings for teams to navigate grief together and gain the tools to support others when tragedy strikes. Since every community’s needs are unique, we’ll work with your team to provide a custom-fit solution that best serves your people.
Toni Morrison coined the concept of rememory, which is the communal practice of revisiting grief through shared storytelling so that it’s no longer carried alone. When we remember our grief through story, we have the opportunity to revisit and re-narrate our loss in a community. And when grief is remembered together, loneliness loses its power.
Your gift goes directly to helping us scale what’s working and create new resources for those experiencing grief. Funds help us bring more events to cities across the country and take trainings to communities in need.
