You Do Not Have to Leave Love Behind to Keep Living
Carry Them Forward offers compassionate grief support programs for adults navigating the death of someone they love, as well as other significant life losses. Our programs create space to honor what has been lost, stay connected to what continues to matter, and find a meaningful way forward without leaving important parts of yourself or your story behind.
Grief can change almost everything—the rhythm of your days, your relationships, how you see yourself, and the future you thought you were going to have. When someone you love dies, the relationship doesn’t simply disappear. And when life changes through other significant losses, what mattered to you doesn’t suddenly stop mattering either.
Carry Them Forward was created for that complicated space between what was and what comes next. A place where you don’t have to forget, let go, find closure, or pretend you’re ready before you are.
Here, moving forward isn’t about leaving something—or someone—behind. It’s about finding a way to carry the love, meaning, memories, and parts of your story that still matter, while slowly making room for the life that is still yours to live.
CARRY
Honor what matters.

CONNECT
Stay connected to what matters.
Make space for connection—to the person you love, to yourself, to others who understand, and to the parts of life that still hold meaning.
CONTINUE
Find your way forward.
Continue living without pretending the loss didn’t happen or leaving important parts of yourself behind. Moving forward isn’t about moving on. It’s about learning how to carry what matters into what comes next.
The Five-Week Grieving Forward Intensive
FEATURED PROGRAM
One focused beginning. Four weeks to carry it into everyday life.
The Grieving Forward Intensive begins with a live, four-hour virtual intensive and continues with four weekly 90-minute Integration Circles. The intensive creates space to go deeper, while the weeks that follow give participants time to reflect on what surfaced, try new ways of navigating grief, reconnect with the group, and begin putting Carry • Connect • Continue into practice in their own lives.
The experience is intentionally focused, but support does not have to end when the program does. After completing the Intensive and Integration Circles, participants may choose to continue connecting through the Carry Them Forward Circle, our ongoing community exclusively for Grieving Forward Intensive alumni

WHY THIS WORK IS DIFFERENT
Professional Training. Lived Experience. Compassionate Structure.
Carry Them Forward was founded by Angela Prather, LMHC, NCC, CLC, a grief-informed mental health professional, educator, Navy veteran, and bereaved mother. Her work is informed by both professional practice and lived experience in bereavement.
The result is support that respects the depth of grief while offering language, tools, and connection for the life that continues.
