The Lost Table - For Those Who Have Experienced The Loss Of A Child

Portland Grief House invites you to join The Lost Table; a table that is resilient, strong and safe for those who have experienced the loss of a child. 

Your child can be biological or not, lost to death or to another thing, born, not yet born, young or grown - we're opening our arms wide enough for all the lost ones to come gather.

When a child dies - or is lost to things outside of death - it can be hard to keeep talking about them with family and friends who struggle to know how to hold their loss. This gathering is a place to Take a seat, bring a special dish if you like, we'll have snacks to share while we share stories, memories and each other's company. 

Our children live in us forever - lets make a space where we can freely show our whole selves, including the parts that are filled up with them.

To bring:

• A dish to share with serving utensils, if you wish. This is entirely optional - snacks will be provided
• beverage for yourself (if you want something besides tea or tap water).
• photos or drawings or anything else you would like to share 

We hope to see you there.
