About us

What is Grievia?

When loss arrives, whether it is the death of someone beloved, the end of a relationship, the collapse of a life you had carefully built, or any experience that quietly breaks your sense of who you are, it can feel as though the world has moved on without you. People want to help but don't know how. Online spaces feel too loud or too shallow. And the silence left behind can be just as painful as the loss itself.

Grievia exists for that silence.

We are a free, global community built on a simple belief: that grief in every aspect of it, whether it’s the loss of a relationship, a home, or even a version of yourself, should be treated with honesty, knowledge, and sincere human connection.

Not a performance, not cliches. Just empathetic, clear, and compassionate guidance that helps people understand what they are carrying and find their footing again.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve how grief and loss are understood and supported globally by creating accessible, evidence-informed resources, peer-led structures, and guidance that help individuals and communities navigate bereavement with compassion, clarity, and resilience.

Our Vision

To see a world where grief is spoken about openly, without shame, without silence, and without isolation.
To see individuals navigating loss find the language, resources, and community they need to understand what they are carrying and begin to move forward.
To see the gap between those who need grief support and those who can access it close, regardless of location, background, culture, or circumstance.

To see peer connection recognised as a powerful force in healing and to see Grievia's community grow into a global network where no one has to grieve in silence.
To see every person who comes to Grievia leave with more clarity, more connection, and the quiet certainty that what they feel is valid, and that they are not alone in it.

Meet The Founders

Nika Oven

Co-Founder

Nika worked in research and law for many years, creating frameworks that enable organizations to address difficult human issues effectively. She has a special talent for simplifying complex, overpowering processes into something understandable and practical.

Behind the professional expertise lies a simpler motivation: a belief that the way we talk about grief and the structures we build around it can either further isolate people or genuinely help them find their footing.

At Grievia, Nika oversees content quality, organisational design, and the standards that ensure everything the platform offers is trustworthy, responsible, and built to last.

Klara Tomazic

Co-Founder

Klara's background sits at a unique and useful intersection of human resources management and cognitive behavioral therapy. In actuality, this means that she understands how individuals deal with challenging emotions, as well as how organizations may be built to support them through them.

Her work has always centred on one question: how do we make it easier for people to ask for help? At Grievia, Klara leads the emotional design of the platform, shaping the tone, the user experience, and the support structures that make Grievia feel like a place you can trust, not just a website you visit once.
