Front Porch Collective, LLC

Front Porch Collective, LLC offers professional grief support to adults experiencing loss. Our mission is to witness, understand, and support those in grief.

Through 1:1 and group sessions, grievers are provided space to share stories of loss, have their grief witnessed, and explore strategies for growth and finding purpose after the death of a loved one or grief following a life event. Front Porch Collective was born from a need to create more spaces for grievers and build communities that understand and embrace the process of grief work. Following th

e sudden loss of her father in 2022, FPC founder Nicole Kerekes began the healing process of working with a Certified Grief Educator and supporter. Through their grief work together, Nicole began feeling empowered to take on life again. It was the realization that Nicole wanted to do for others what her supporter did for her that drove her to become a Certified Grief Educator through David Kessler and grief.com.

happy april fools day, friends. 🤡

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: pale orange background with deep green text that reads: what is grief work? grief work can be defined in many different ways but at front porch collective, we like to say: grief work honors your grief (and the grief-causing event itself) through meaningful conversation, reflections, and practical exercises. the goal of grief work is not to “heal” yourself of the grief but rather to learn to live alongside it, to give it space to breathe as life ebbs and flows, and to find meaning in life after the loss.
