My name is Grant Marylander and I created Share Your Grief to provide compassionate, specialized grief therapy to those navigating the profound weight of loss.

My path to this work was shaped by personal experience. After a career in law, I journeyed alongside a close friend who died from pancreatic cancer. That experience changed me. It led me to pursue a graduate degree in social work and a master's degree in pastoral care from the Iliff School of Theology — and ultimately to a calling in hospice and palliative care.

For more than five years, I worked in hospice and palliative care as both a social worker and spiritual care provider, sitting with patients and families navigating terminal illness, sudden loss, traumatic death, and suicide bereavement. I served as the palliative coordinator for Boulder Community Health's inpatient palliative care program and later led the grief department for a prominent local hospice, providing both individual and group grief counseling.

That work taught me something I carry into every therapy session: hospice was never about helping someone die. It was about helping someone live the fullest life available to them for whatever time they had. I bring that same philosophy to grief therapy.

Today I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Grief Counselor in private practice in Boulder, Colorado, serving clients in person and via telehealth across Colorado. Beyond my private practice, I volunteer as a facilitator for a suicide loss survivor support group, facilitate a grief support group at Boulder Community Health, and provide educational seminars on grief to mental health professionals, victim advocates, and hospice volunteers.

I believe that grief is not a problem to be fixed — it is the cost of loving deeply. You do not have to carry it alone.
