Rouw Werkt

Rouw Werkt is the grief and loss support practice of Jorg Vletter, serving people in Groningen, Assen, Zuidlaren and surrounding areas in the Netherlands. The practice offers a personal, honest space where people can explore loss and find room for grief to move. Its approach recognises that loss is not limited to bereavement after a death; it can include anything meaningful that has fallen away. Rouw Werkt aims to make grief a normal part of life and believes people do not have to carry it alone, with support that considers the balance between thoughts, feelings and the body.

Services include individual grief and loss guidance, workshops, and support for organisations responding to loss. Vletter draws on professional training, personal experience of loss, and inspiration from movement, adventure, images and stories. The practice is based at Ulgersmaweg 47B in Groningen, and an initial introduction is personal. Rouw Werkt is connected with Dearly, which supports organisations in creating workplaces where grief can be acknowledged, and participates in community initiatives including Rouwen & Vieren Groningen. The website also shares stories, practical information and a newsletter about loss, grief and love.
