At 25, Chloe Zelkha, then a community organizer and educator, suddenly faced death in her family. Rather than running from grief as is common in our "death-denying culture," she chose to lean into it. She trained as a hospital chaplain -- not with the conventional approach of “fixing” spiritual crises, but more as "a student, sitting at the feet of the real masters.” She realized the paucity of grief programs supporting young adults, and began to fill the gap, focusing on peer connection and community instead of clinical care. When the pandemic hit, Chloe co-founded the COVID Grief Network, a mutual aid organization that offers free community and grief support to young adults who lost someone to COVID-19. Her ongoing work with young adults integrates spirituality, farming, song, Buddhist insight meditation, Jewish scripture, and social justice. She is studying toward rabbinic ordination.
