A thoughtfully curated collection to support the experience of grief with presence, care, and compassion.
Developed in collaboration with Denise Olsen, this kit is rooted in her personal journey through profound loss and the insights that emerged from it. After losing her husband in the September 11 attacks, Denise found that while grief changes us, it can also open a pathway toward deeper connection, meaning, and self-discovery.
The G.R.A.C.E. Kit was created to support those moving through grief—not by bypassing it, but by gently meeting it.
