Peer Grief Support for Young Adults
Creating community. Providing support. Inspiring growth.
Our Mission
Created by two sisters who lost their mom far too soon, Two Daughters Foundation is dedicated to supporting young people through the serious illness or loss of a parent or parental figure.
How Our Grief Support Groups Work
Our peer grief support groups are for young adults aged 18 to 39 who have lost a parent or parental figure. Groups are free, meet online once a month for an hour, and are guided by a facilitator. There is no requirement that your loss be recent.

Stories From Our Peer Grief Support Community
“The peer grief support group through Two Daughters Foundation has been such a safe haven for me. It's been a relief and such a silver lining of my grief process to connect with other young people going through similar experiences. The foundation provides a much-needed space and resources for young adults navigating grief.”
“This group has been such a valuable community to me where I feel that I belong and where I am most supported throughout my journey without my dad. I love how I can share my personal feelings with others that relate because they sadly share the same situation. As sad as it is to lose a parent so early in life, it is comforting knowing that I am not alone and it makes me feel hope knowing I have a community of kind loving people that have my back anytime I need it. Some days are harder than others and I can surely count on this group to hear out those tough days and get me back on my feet. Such an amazing group to be in and I am so thankful to have found it.”
“Two Daughters Foundation gave me a new way to express and process my grief. While therapy is helpful, and I am grateful to have my family's support, it's nice to hear from people who have parallel experiences to mine, especially people who have been surviving this longer than I have.”
