The free 12-step program

Twelve steps to renew your mind, find peace, and bring some light and structure back into your week. It is the same framework Jonny’s Angels groups use all over the world, and it is where nearly everybody begins.

Free when you leave your details, and free for as long as you need it. Nothing to prepare, and nothing to pay, ever.

Kathryn sends the invitations and meeting reminders herself. Unsubscribe any time.

  2. Renew your mindMeet the thoughts grief installs, and learn what to do with them.
  3. Find some peaceSmall, repeatable practices for the heaviest hours.
  4. Turn mourning to lightFind the meaning, and the purpose hidden inside the pain.

Weekly community meetings

Every Thursday we gather on Google Meet. Angel parents, siblings, and parents and grandparents living with cut off culture, all welcomed by name and truly seen.

This is a place where you can talk about your ick and still be loved. Whether estrangement follows a loss or stands on its own, this room understands it as grief. Come once and you will understand why our members call it the anchor of their week.

Caring Listeners

Some nights you do not need a meeting. You need one person who will pick up.

Caring Listeners are beautiful people Kathryn knows personally, most of them bereaved parents themselves, who volunteer their time for free to listen when a parent is in crisis and needs to talk. Not a script, not a service, not a bill afterwards. A human being who will stay on the line.

The circle is small and growing, and every listener has walked through this valley. Call one of them directly, or ask Kathryn and she will match you with somebody herself, usually the same day.

Caring Listeners are volunteers, not therapists or crisis counsellors. If you are in danger right now, call or text 988 in the US, free and 24/7, or call 911.

  • Morning grounding prompts written for the heaviest days
  • Evening release and reflection pages, to quiet your mind before sleep
