Hello Article Clubbers and Melinda’s Grief Corner readers! We’ve welcomed quite a few new folks to our corner of the internet since December and so I thought now is a great time to do aeintroduction and re-share some updates about Article Club!
First, for all who are new to Melinda’s Grief Corner - welcome! Thank you for coming along my grief journey with me. I hope you find community here. And I hope that my newsletters about the rollercoaster ride that is grief bring you some comfort in your own grief journey.
Melinda’s Grief Corner (aka MGC) comes out every other Sunday! I took a bit of a break in January, but my first newsletter back came out earlier this month! If you’re new here, or if you’d like to go back and browse past newsletters you can check out the Melinda’s Grief Corner section of Article Club. And you can also find my very first newsletter where I talk about why I started this newsletter.
Second, as a gentle reminder Mark Isero - our fearless leader of Article Club - is taking a break for about six months to reflect and take stock! Paid subscriptions are on pause! You can read more about Mark’s thoughts on this hiatus here.
Last thing - today’s MGC newsletter is very short! I’m coming in with two griefy resources for folks who are looking for some online community support.
The first one is a free webinar hosted by What’s Your Grief on adjusting to living alone. This webinar is taking place on February 25, 2026 at 8:00pm Eastern and you can register here. I’ve really loved being part of the What’s Your Grief community and many of the articles are resources I share here with you all. If grief has reshaped your life in such a way that you are now living alone, I think this could be a great webinar to work through that enormous adjustment with all of the practical issues it brings up and the emotional toll it can also take.
The second one is another community event. This one is going to be hosted by The Dinner Party. As some folks who have been reading my newsletter for a bit may remember, The Dinner Party is the organization that helped me start my own in-person grief support group. This online event is to celebrate all of the ways folks who are part of The Dinner Party have helped the community as a whole walk with our grief. It is also a time to checkout what is in store for The Dinner Party this year! If you’re curious about The Dinner Party and you’re a griever between 18 - 45 years old, definitely check out this event. It will take place on February 26th, 2026 at 7:00pm Eastern. I’ll be there too! You can register here.
Until next time, big hugs from me to you!
