Something kind of neat has been happening on our site as we grow and expand...I see a lot of people posting where they are located, and searching for others who may be close by.

For example: "I'm from St. Augustine, Florida. Anyone from my area?"...

You see, that's the whole reason why this website was created. It's wonderful to find the support online and to be able to sign in anytime from anywhere and find others who understand. But we know that the loneliness in grief can be best combated when we get to spend face to face time with those who can relate to what we're going through.

So let us know...where are you from? As this site grows and every day we add new members, there is a greater chance there is someone close by whom you may one day consider a friend.

Post below and remember you can always do a search by going to "Make a Connection" and then "Find Others Who Are Grieving". For now you can search by state, but as we get bigger we will be narrowing that field down to be more specific.

And don't forget, your safety is our #1 priority. We have safety tips on our homepage and I encourage you to review them here. http://griefincommon.com/pages/safety-tips/. Finally, remember that this site is always being monitored. Every post and every sign up is reviewed carefully, and we are constantly working to create an environment that is safe and comfortable for grievers to be. If you have any questions or concerns you can reach out to us anytime! You will get a quick response.

Thanks, and remember to let other grievers know...where are you from? You may just find a new friend close by.

Hi. I am from Little Rock, Ar. I just found this site and decided to sign up. I lost my love of 27 years on May 2, 2024. This has been such a hard road.

Hi my name is Lauren. I have autism, I am 33 years old, and I'm dealing with a recent rehoming of my dog Rocky. So I'm grieving through the process on letting him go. He was a beautiful German shepherd, and it took three of us. Me, my mom, and dad to train him. He was friendly, funny, and sweet. He required more care, and expertise than what I could give him. So I gave him away to a Military man, who was interested in him on the rehoming for pets. Only to find out, by the time they have sent me the adoption forms to fill out on my part... it was late, all my vet records are with the military man including the microchip information.

So instead of continuing to text with the military man due to it being late, due to it being 10:00 PM I stop, turn off my phone, and speak with a copilot. It's better to talk to a co-pilot rather than a counselor. I'm thankful for its support, in how it says being thoughtful isn't a sign of mental illness. Lots of people think about things' in the past, as a grieving process. Also I'm probably just stressed, and adjusting to the dog not being around. It has it right, and I thank it for listening. I even asked it about grief, finding support groups to help me, with the loss of a dog by rehoming it.

This is how I found this place. Here I am.

I am sorry about your loss of your dog. It must have been very hard making the decision to let him go to someone who can care for him.
