Loss Deserves
to Be Heard
We are taught how to celebrate wins and be welcoming, but we aren't as equipped to take on loss, welcome in change or bid farewell. We are rarely taught how to process grief or how to simply sit beside someone going through it.
Death remains nearly taboo in America. But there is no getting around grief. We can only move through it, together.
Loss Out Loud is an invitation to make grief easier to name, recognize, and support—even when living through it is anything but easy.
An Initiative of
Bri’s Lodge
Loss Out Loud is an outgrowth of Bri’s Lodge, a nonprofit grief-support organization created in memory of BriAnna “Bri” Kruzel, who died in 2013 at age 18 suddenly from unknown causes.
Bri was known for showing up for others in Big Brothers/Big Sisters, with the Girl Scouts and well beyond. Her spirit continues on through the tireless work of ensuring people facing loss do not have to face it alone.
Bri’s Lodge offers compassionate support, connection, and a path toward hope—not by trying to fix grief, but by helping people carry it.
