At Light of Grief
We understand that loss can feel isolating, and healing takes time. We're here to walk alongside you in your journey, offering resources and support that meet you where you are.
Whether it’s through practical assistance like case management or spiritual acts of kindness, like making a donation in honor of a loved one, we’re here to help guide you toward healing in a way that feels meaningful.
Our focus is on creating a compassionate community where you can find strength, comfort, and hope as you move forward.
Our Offerings
Healing Gatherings
We host events such as tea ceremonies, sound baths, yoga, equine therapy, and art therapy circles. These experiences create space for stillness, reflection, and connection.
Children’s Grief Kits
Playful, comforting activity kits designed to help children process loss with creativity, affirmations, and gentle guidance.
Resources & Support
Free guides and tools to help families navigate grief. We also provide connections to trusted therapists and other forms of healing support, so no one has to walk this path alone.
Acts of Remembrance
From community drives to charitable giving projects (like building water wells in memory of loved ones), we create ways to honor those we’ve lost.
Little Light Kits
Our Little Light Kits are designed to give children a safe and creative way to express their feelings after experiencing loss. Each kit includes playful, comforting activities and items that encourage healing through imagination, reflection, and gentle guidance.
Our hope is that each Little Light Kit helps children feel less alone, more understood, and reminds them that their grief, and their memories, matter.
From Loss to Light
In April 2022, my world changed forever. I lost my precious son, Azan, and was left with an unimaginable emptiness. Navigating those first days of grief was overwhelming — from finding a resting place for him to trying to understand the traditions and the logistics when my heart could barely take a single breath.
Just months later, I also lost my father. The weight of grief, one loss on top of another, felt unbearable. And yet, in the middle of so much pain, a seed of purpose began to grow. I didn’t want anyone else to feel as alone or unsupported as I did.
That’s how Light of Grief was born. What started as a late-night conversation with my sister quickly became a nonprofit rooted in compassion and service. Our mission is to walk alongside others through loss — offering spaces for healing, tools for families (including children), and community gatherings where grief doesn’t have to be hidden in silence.
We have Muslim roots, but all are welcome. Grief doesn’t know religion, age, or background. Whether you’re grieving a loved one, a relationship, or simply moving through a life transition, you deserve a place of support.
Today, Light of Grief hosts healing-centered gatherings like tea ceremonies, sound baths, and creative workshops. We are building resources for children, connecting families with support, and creating ways to honor loved ones through acts of remembrance like water wells and community service.
My hope is that Light of Grief continues to grow as a safe, nurturing space for anyone navigating loss. Together, we can honor our loved ones, support each other, and find light — even in the darkest seasons.
Hope is Always within Reach
Losing someone you love changes you forever. When I lost my dad on November 1, 2022, my world felt shattered. Grief is isolating, overwhelming, and unpredictable, and in those early days, I struggled to find a way forward. I know firsthand how loss can make you feel stuck in a place of pain, searching for hope but unsure where to find it.
That’s why I am so passionate about the mission of our organization—empowering others to heal and find hope after loss. No one should have to navigate grief alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning to carry the love forward while finding ways to live again. Through support, community, and resources, we help others take steps toward healing at their own pace, knowing they are not alone in their journey.
Grief is a lifelong journey, but hope is always within reach. By sharing my story and dedicating myself to this work, I want to remind others that even in the darkest moments, healing is possible. Together, we can create a space where loss is acknowledged, love is honored, and hope is restored.
Be Part of the Healing
At Light of Grief, we believe healing happens in community. There are many ways to be part of our mission whether through volunteering your time, sharing your skills, making a donation, or simply showing up to our gatherings. Every act of support helps us create safe spaces, provide resources, and offer comfort to families navigating loss.
When you get involved, you’re not just giving you’re helping carry someone through one of the hardest chapters of their life. Together, we can bring light, connection, and compassion to those who need it most.
