Founded by school counselor Rebecca Hensler following the death of
her son, Grief Beyond Belief has been operating on Facebook for three
years, providing grieving atheists, Humanists and other Freethinkers
with spaces in which to share compassion and advice without the
uncomfortable intrusions of prayer and proselytizing. From the page’s
much-welcomed launch on Facebook in June 2011, to its surprising growth
following glowing coverage in USA Today in Spring of 2012,
to its expansion to a confidential Facebook support group the following
fall, the community has continued to serve the growing secular
population’s need for grief-support appropriate for those who do not
believe in a higher power or an afterlife.
