Our Space is Open to Those Grieving
You are welcome to join us here
As our community navigates this heartbreaking loss, the Pride Center continues to be open as a space to gather, remember, and grieve. We are open today, September 24th, from 10am to 4pm.
If you need to talk to a mental health professional, walk-ins are accepted at RIH daily until 4pm.
If you need a space to hang out and do homework with a lighter ambience, the Mosaic and CRSP's Gathering Space are open for regularly scheduled programming.
We continue to hold eachother with care.
"Grief is the price of love. Loving someone means that one day, there will be grieving. They will leave you, or you will leave them. The more you love, the more you grieve. Loving someone also means grieving with them. It means letting their pain and loss bleed into your own heart. When you see that pain coming, you may want to throw up the guardrails, sound the alarm, raise the flag, but you must keep the borders of your heart porous in order to love well. Grieving is an act of surrender.” - Valarie Kaur
Later today, we have the opportunity to hear from Valarie Kaur, author of See No Stranger, for a conversation about using love as a practice for transforming ourselves, our relationships, and the institutions we inhabit. Please view the attached flyer, and join us if you believe it would be beneficial or healing for you.
