The Harbor

by Anchor & Grace Co.

A Grief & Grace Community for Widows and Widowers

Launching July 8th, 2026

Welcome. Your interest in joining The Harbor truly touches my heart.

Grief can make the world feel like it keeps moving while you're just trying to figure out how to breathe again.

MY JOURNEY, OUR COMMUNITY

After losing my husband one year after losing my mother, I wasn't only looking for comfort, I was looking for help learning how to live again. Through my own journey and leading grief support groups, I realized how few spaces truly exist that honor grief's weight while making room for grace, hope, and healing.

That's why Anchor & Grace Co. brings together:

  • 1:1 Grief Support Coaching (Companioning + Coaching)

  • Grief circles for connection and shared experience

  • Retreats and workshops for deeper healing

  • Travel, service, and community gatherings to rebuild alongside one another

  • Resources for your ongoing journey

A PLACE WHERE YOU BELONG

Here, you don't have to rush your healing, explain your tears, or "be strong" for anyone else. We honor the real journey, the lament, questions, memories, and the full roller coaster of emotions.

Your grief isn't a problem to fix; it's love learning how to breathe in a new reality. We welcome the tears, anger, quiet days, and moments of strength. And in all of it, we hold this truth: God is not intimidated by your heartbreak. He is close, compassionate, and steady enough to meet you right where you are.

Healing doesn't mean erasing what you've lost. You don't have to "get over" your person to grow, laugh again, or find purpose. Hope in this community reminds you that God gives what you need for today, grace for the next step, while your love and their memory remain honored.
