Volunteering with Grief and Loss In Motion isn't about fixing anyone. It's about showing up, offering presence, and helping create spaces of safety and care after loss.

​

Why Volunteers Matter

​Suicide loss is isolating. When someone shows up, a peer, a maker, a greeter, a quiet presence- it reminds the grieving: you are not alone. 

Whether you've lived through loss or want to support those who have, your time and heart matter deeply. 

​
