Gloves for Grief

At Gloves For Grief, our mission is to provide unwavering support, transformative resources, and healing opportunities for individuals and families navigating the uncharted waters of grief. Through mind, body, and soul-centered programs, we create a path for healing that empowers people to move through their pain and rediscover their inner RESILIENCE and strength.

Our focus is on providing H.O.P.E.—Helping Others Process Emotions—because no one should have to grieve alone. With every breath, every movement, and every connection, we help turn loss into love, pain into purpose, and grief into growth.

Our mission is simple: to help families heal, honor their loved ones, and reclaim their strength—one punch, one breath, and one step at a time.

Gloves For Grief was founded out of personal loss and the deep understanding that grief is not a journey meant to be walked alone. After experiencing the profound pain of losing their sons, our founders discovered that traditional grief support often lacked the physical and emotional outlets needed for true healing. Boxing became an unexpected yet powerful tool—a way to release emotions, process pain, and find strength in movement.

Recognizing that grief affects families globally in unique ways, Gloves for Grief was created to offer holistic healing through movement, mindfulness, and community support. Our organization provides a safe space for individuals and families to navigate loss through Box & Breathe Wellness Events, private events, support groups, and semi-private grief boxing sessions.

By blending physical activity with mental and emotional support, Gloves for Grief helps normalize conversations around loss, ensuring that no one has to grieve in silence.

At Gloves for Grief, we believe that healing is not just about surviving loss—it’s about reclaiming strength, finding purpose, and building a supportive community where no one has to grieve alone.

Through our mind-body-soul healing programs, we’ve helped countless individuals and families navigate the depths of grief with H.O.P.E. (Helping Others Process Emotions). By blending movement, mindfulness, and emotional release, we provide more than just support—we offer a path to transformation.

🔹 In 2 years, over 1,000 participants have attended our Box & Breathe Wellness Events, finding relief, connection, and resilience through movement.
🔹 Our tailored grief workshops have reached schools, nonprofits, and at-risk youth, equipping them with powerful tools to process emotions.
🔹 We’ve created safe spaces where grieving hearts can share, heal, and grow together.

Every punch thrown, every deep breath taken, and every shared story brings us closer to breaking the silence around grief.

At Gloves for Grief, we don’t just help people cope with loss—we help them rise from it.

At Gloves For Grief, we believe that healing from loss should be active, accessible, and community-driven. What started as a local initiative in Orange County has grown into a movement, drawing individuals from across Southern California and beyond, seeking meaningful, nontraditional grief support.

But we have big dreams—and slowing down is not an option.

Grief is a lifelong journey, and the need for holistic, action-based healing spaces has never been greater. While our Box & Breathe Wellness Events provide an invaluable outlet, we envision a permanent home: a wellness center in Orange County where individuals can engage in active healing year-round—through movement, mindfulness, and community support.

This space would be more than just a facility—it would be a refuge, a place where grief is acknowledged, honored, and transformed through innovative programs that integrate mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.

To make this vision a reality, we need dedicated supporters, funding partners, and a community that believes in the power of movement to heal. Together, we can redefine grief support and ensure that no one has to navigate loss alone.
