Welcome, darling!
When my husband died I felt completely lost and alone.
No one grasped the depth of my devastation. Yes, they saw the obvious loss. That he was gone. But what they didn’t see was that my entire life as I knew it was gone too.
I felt like an anchor-less boat adrift at sea.
I wished someone would have said to me: Here I am, darling!
Let’s navigate and make sense of your loss together. I know the person who you want to lean on is gone. Lean on me.
Let’s look for glints of light shining through the darkness, and what new possibilities might be illuminated now.
But also,
I will meet you in the darkness. And when you are ready to move forward, we will forge a path through the rubble of your life. Together.

“Grief is f*#ing hard. But you don’t have to grieve it alone.”
— me
I didn’t used to swear. Honest.

Whether you recently lost your person or it has been years since you last held their hand, grief and rebuilding life after a profound loss doesn’t have a timeline.
Let’s begin wherever you are now, identify what you need, and chart a path gently forward.
Bringing all of your heart with you.

“Grief, I say, come in. Sit down.
I have tea. There is honey.
This will take as long as it takes.”
— this hallowed wilderness
