Free peer support for people bereaved due to substance use related deaths.

You are not alone in this grief.

The Sun Will Rise Foundation provides free peer grief support for people who have experienced the death of someone they care about due to substance use related causes including overdose, suicide, homicide, accidents and medical complications.

Grief after these deaths carries unique challenges. Stigma, isolation and complicated emotions can make it harder to find support. You deserve a place where you can speak openly and be understood.

We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where people can connect with others who understand and receive care without stigma or shame.

Every grieving person deserves support. Every grieving person deserves community. No one should have to navigate this alone.
