I am here to reimagine...
what social gatherings look and feel like for grievers. If you've ever been the "death of the party" because you happened to bring up a part of your loss story, you're not alone in this.

I've experienced a number of significant deaths over the past five years. My dad died in 2019 and since loosing him, I've sought out friendships with others who get grief. Meeting folks of all ages has inspired me to further this community; I currently host/attend grief peer groups and tra...
Hi, I'm Melanie, a griever looking to create community and prove loneliness wrong when it comes to mourning.
I've experienced a number of significant deaths over the past five years. My dad died in 2019 and since loosing him, I've sought out friendships with others who get grief. Meeting folks of all ages has inspired me to further this community; I currently host/attend grief peer groups and train future hosts via The Dinner Party and am the host of Death of the Party NYC.
Besides talking about grief, I enjoy life by volunteering at a thrift store, being creative, beekeeping, and traveling. My favorite place in NYC is Governor's Island!
