Loss Is Heavy.
When someone or something special is gone, families and communities feel the weight. The problem is, many of us think we have to carry grief alone — like trying to lift a giant couch by ourselves. But what if we shared that grief?
The PassingOn Collective helps strengthen villages around those who are grieving, building ways for families and groups to stay connected and care for each other. When we support each other, we transform sadness into shared strength.

Listening Circle
The Listening Circle is a structured, compassionate way for communities to gather in the wake of significant loss or transition. It creates a safe environment where people can speak from the heart and be heard – without interruption, judgment, or pressure to solve anything. Participants often leave feeling grounded and more connected to one another.
For up to ten people. In person or online.
Legacy Forward
Legacy Forward is a guided experience which co-creates with you a customized plan that prepares you to speak, listen, and celebrate with family, friends, colleagues, and others on the topic of your end-of-life or other life transition. The plan describes activities to take place between you and the important people in your life over a period of time.
For individuals or groups.
Care Village
The Care Village is a 12‑week journey of presence and renewal, where peers in senior living centers, religious communities, and professional networks learn to support one another through grief and transition. Through practices, tools, and practical knowledge, participants strengthen their capacity, emotional intelligence and bonding in their communities.
For intact peer groups.
Testimonials
The Listening Circle experience will be so very meaningful for chaplains and spiritual directors, pastors, etc. The facilitators are confident and knowledgeable and express themselves with such feeling and compassion. I really hope a great number of folks will take part in these gatherings. They will not be sorry!

We can take the PassingOn practices into our organizations to replace busyness with spaciousness.
Jules Myers,
Ohio Organizational Development Network
We don’t really talk about legacy in our family. So I wasn’t sure if my grown children would understand what has been important to me in my lifetime. But the Legacy Letter produced by The PassingOn Collective gets to the core of it and will speak for me.

Our Team
Working With Us
We are trained in grief literacy, cooperative work, narrative design, spiritual care, and community building. Our work strengthens the emotional fabric of families and groups, guiding them through loss with deep understanding, co-creative practices, and relationship-centered support. Together, these approaches help communities become crucibles for renewal.
Empathy Matters
Loss and grief can make us feel alone. When we’re with others who understand our feelings and experiences, we become part of a sacred community.
Authentic Connection
We foster relationships in which everyone can be their most authentic self — big feelings, weird habits, all of it — because we know true renewal requires it.
Collaborative Design
In working together with our clients, we’re able to support a customized path based on unique needs. Because who knows you better than you?
