Welcome to Grief Gorilla:
Most people think grief and loss are problems to be solved or a process to be completed or a broken thing that needs fixing. But at the riverbank, we know the truth: Loss is not a broken sink; it is a broken heart.

Who is Gus?
Gus is a gentle, blue silverback who lives in a quiet corner of the jungle. You might wonder what a blue gorilla can say about human loss. The truth is, Gus knows that sometimes, human words are too loud and human advice is too hurried.
He knows what it is like to be part of a troop and have part of the troop disappear. And he offers a safe, non-judgmental space where you don't have to be "strong," you don't have to "move on," and you definitely don't have to have it all figured out.

Gus sees you. You are not doing this wrong. You are just loving deeply.

Join the troop. Pull up a mossy log. Let’s sit together for a moment.

Let's find our way through the fog, together.
