Those Who Mourn Community

Join a group of fellow Catholics who desire to lean into the goodness, truth, and beauty of our Catholic faith to find hope and healing after the death of a loved one.

Why Join?

Our community and memberships are pretty special. We’re focused on the ways that connecting with others can bring deep healing to our broken hearts. 

We know that not every parish offers bereavement support, but significant healing takes place in the context of community. Unfortunately, not all of our friends are able to walk alongside us as we grieve, and this can serve to make us feel isolated in our pain. Finding understanding, compassion, and validation from others in the experience of grieving helps us to realize that we are not alone. 

The monthly membership means that you can join anytime you feel like you need some extra support and stay for as long as you want.

Join today and you'll have instant access to:

• Weekly discussion questions to help you process your grief no matter where you are on your healing journey
• A growing Spotify playlist of beautiful, healing music to help you focus on your faith in the midst of your pain including all the hymns featured in Those Who Mourn magazine
• Live grief support groups
• Monthly group coaching
• Monthly live workshops to help you process your grief and find healing from the pain of loss while leaning into your faith (You'll also have access to the growing library of recordings of previous workshops including topics such as how your unique temperament influences your grief, managing the thoughts that come with grief, setting healthy boundaries, navigating difficult family relationships, and creative workshops to help you process your grief with art.)
• Printable prayers each month to help guide you when prayer feels hard
• Quarterly book club
• Community activities, like writing and photo challenges, creative activities, Bible studies, holiday exchanges, and more!

Meet Your Host

I'm Eileen Tully, the creator and editor of Those Who Mourn magazine. I have a passion for sharing the hope of the Catholic faith with those who are grieving the loss of a loved one. After losing four children to miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death, I experienced a crisis of faith, and searched in vain for Catholic grief support. 

I found great healing by going deeper into the truths of the Catholic faith, and founded Sursum Corda, an apostolate specifically for mothers who have experienced pregnancy and child loss, before creating Those Who Mourn magazine. I became a certified Catholic coach and now use my experience, knowledge, and coaching skills to provide practical tools to help you find healing from the pain of loss and grow in your faith.

Those Who Mourn magazine will always be a free online resource for Catholics who are grieving.

 Here's what's coming up inside the community:

In our monthly workshop for October, we'll be talking about anger.

Anger is one of the emotions that God has created us with, and it is a normal, healthy response to injustice and a loss of control. Anger may be directed towards ourselves, towards others, or towards institutions or circumstances. Sometimes our anger gets misdirected and comes out in places that we don't mean it to. Sometimes it covers more difficult emotions that we may feel afraid to acknowledge.

This month, let's talk about anger and learn how to process it. This is not a forgiveness exercise. It's accepting and acknowledging the anger itself and learning to let ourselves feel it. You'll want to bring paper and a pencil to this workshop.

Unsure if this community is what you need? Here's what one member has to say:

This safe space has been sacred to me, and I cannot thank Eileen enough for the gifts she has shared with us...coaching, book clubs, workshops…many aimed to help us survive and thrive within our grief but also to strengthen our virtues, relationships, and marriages.

We're here when you need us!

You are welcome to just try out the group for a month or just come when you need some extra support. The experience of grief is like waves on the ocean; sometimes we need more help and sometimes we're okay on our own. Join when you want, and stay as long as you need!

I hope you'll join us!
