Our Approach

Mourning Ventures is led by a licensed master social worker and certified thanatologist—a specialist in the human experience of death, dying, and bereavement. We provide services that are:

We are not a clinical therapy practice. Nor do we offer medical, legal, or financial advice. Instead, we fill a critical gap—offering structured, reflective, and deeply supportive services that bridge professional care and peer support.

Our approach is ideal for people and communities seeking meaningful, accessible guidance beyond traditional systems. We often walk alongside those working with doctors, lawyers, and other professionals—helping them process what’s happening, think things through, and make values-based choices that feel right for them.
