ABOUT
The Loss & Grieving Silver Circle is a compassionate, confidential online support group for women 50+ navigating bereavement and major life losses. Led by Ava Pommerenk, Ph.D., it meets for four weekly sessions, with up to 15 women, for $160 USD. WHO IT'S FOR: • Women 50+ grieving a death, divorce, or another major loss • Women mourning a partner, friend, sibling, or long-held role • Women facing ambiguous or cumulative losses, such as relocation, loss of health or independence, or the end of an important role • Women whose friends have withdrawn, or who feel pressure to "move on" too soon • Women who want a safe, held space to share stories, honor what has been lost, and find companionship Grief is complex and non-linear, with waves of emotion, reminders that reopen wounds, and practical changes that demand new routines. Loss may follow death, divorce, relocation, loss of health or independence, or the end of an important role. Many losses are ambiguous or cumulative, and reactions can include sadness, anger, relief, numbness, or persistent yearning. Friends may withdraw, and expectations to "move on" can feel premature. WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CIRCLE: Members support one another through shared listening, memory-sharing, and practical coping tools for grounding, sleep, and self-care, with referrals to community resources. Together, they work toward meaning-making, renewed connection, and routines that honor the loss while opening space for purpose and resilience. ABOUT THE FACILITATOR: Ava Pommerenk, Ph.D., is a speaker and online empowerment coach who works with women worldwide to build agency, authenticity, and resilience. She holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University and a BA in Contemplative Psychology from Naropa University. Her approach is transpersonal, trauma-informed, and creativity-centered, emphasizing embodiment and practical steps toward authentic living.
