About The Compassionate Compass
The Compassionate Compass is a community-based grief support organization founded by Genna Reeves, Ph.D. in 2026. As an organization, we offer connection, education, peer support, and meaningful experiences for people living with loss. We believe grief doesn’t come with a prescribed route or timetable. Our role isn’t to tell you where you should be going, but to help you find your bearings as you navigate what comes next. We don’t give people directions through grief. We help them orient themselves within it.
Approach to Grief Support
-
Peer-based and non-clinical — support, education, reflection, and connection rather than therapy or mental-health treatment.
-
Grief-informed and education-centered — helping people understand what grief can do to the brain, body, relationships, identity, and everyday life.
-
Individualized — there is no single “right” way to grieve.
-
Connection-oriented — being with people who understand can reduce the isolation of grief.
-
Secular and inclusive — people are welcome to discuss their own spiritual or religious beliefs, but no particular belief system is promoted and proselytizing is not part of the community.
-
Open to continuing bonds and remembrance — grief support isn’t about leaving someone behind; remembrance and continued connection can remain part of life.
Shared Group Agreements
Shared group agreements are simple guidelines that help create a respectful, supportive, and emotionally safer space for everyone in the group. They set shared expectations around things like confidentiality, listening without judgment, avoiding unsolicited advice, respecting different grief experiences and beliefs, and allowing everyone the choice to speak or simply listen.
We use group agreements because grief can make people feel especially vulnerable. Having clear expectations helps protect trust, reduce misunderstandings, and make room for many different ways of grieving. They are not meant to control the conversation, but to help everyone participate with care, respect, and consideration for one another.
