Calling all queer grievers: The holidays can intensify feelings of loss—whether from the death of a loved one, estrangement, or living with illness. You’re not alone.
Guy-Wire Grief & Survival Counseling
"Lending stability during unstable times." In engineering, a guy-wire is a secure cable that stabilizes a freestanding structure, preventing it from toppling over.

Our Inspiration
It began as a vow, not a venture. When my 13-year-old son passed in 2008 from brain cancer, I went looking for grounded, empathetic support, especially for fathers, and found major gaps.
I built what I needed and wished existed: first through projects like The Lost Travelers Club, and later through Guy-Wire, a place to lend stability during unstable times.
Formal training and accreditation came alongside, but the engine has always been Love put to work.
