Good Grief; A Floral Journey of Love and Memory

Grief doesn’t follow a straight path—it’s a winding, unpredictable journey with waves that crash when you least expect them. Some days, it feels like you’ve found your footing, and others, it pulls you under. Good Grief offers a space to pause and breathe through those waves, finding comfort in creating something beautiful in memory of those we hold close.

For me, it’s my son Dmitri, forever 18. His loss was a heartbreak I never imagined, and yet, I made a promise—to keep his light alive, to honor him in the ways I can, and to share my story with others who may be quietly navigating their own grief.

This class isn’t about doing it “right.” It’s about showing up, connecting with your memories, and letting your hands create what your heart feels. Together, we’ll design floral arrangements that reflect love, loss, and the promises we keep to remember, even as life moves forward.

Come as you are—with your heart, your grief, your memories. Let’s create a space where healing feels gentle, and love finds a new expression in petals and blooms.

If you'd like to make your arrangement even more personal, feel free to bring a small item that holds special meaning—a photo, a keepsake, or anything that reminds you of your loved one. We’ll incorporate it into your design, turning your piece into a true reflection of their memory.
