Scenario

When groups struggle to continue after losing a central member

Our book club has been meeting for fifteen years and one of our founding members recently died, and we can't agree on whether to keep her chair empty, invite someone new, or change our whole format. We're all grieving differently and our different ways of honoring her are starting to create conflict about what this group should become.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Continuing a shared practice after loss requires negotiating between preservation and evolution, and different approaches to grief can fracture the very community being preserved.
