As this year draws to an end, I find myself reflecting deeply on the journey it’s been—the highs and lows, the moments of raw vulnerability, and the quiet spaces where healing slowly unfolded. This year brought opportunities to connect with so many of you, and it’s reminded me of the immense courage and resilience that grief demands. Through it all, I’ve been humbled and inspired by the strength I’ve witnessed in this community.

To those who are grieving, your bravery in navigating the waves of loss has touched me profoundly. I’ve seen your willingness to show up, even on the hardest days. I’ve felt the weight of your stories, the depth of your love, and the incredible courage it takes to lean into healing when it feels impossible. Everyone’s grief journey is unique, and no matter where you are on yours, please know that you are not alone. It’s been a privilege to walk alongside you and to hold space for your healing.

Looking back, 2024 was a year that deepened my commitment to building a community where grief is honored and healing is embraced. From meaningful conversations to moments of quiet reflection, I’ve witnessed how we, together, have found ways to reclaim joy, find clarity, and hold space for our losses in ways that allow life to move forward—gently and authentically. Each moment shared with you has been a gift that I hold close to my heart.

The end of a year often invites reflection, and it also holds the promise of new beginnings. You have the freedom to embrace the coming year at your own pace. Whether you feel ready to take bold steps forward or simply wish to rest in the space you’ve created, trust that your path is uniquely yours. You are exactly where you need to be.

Next year will be filled with new events and opportunities to support you on your grief journey. With my continued education, with licenses and certifications come some new and special offerings to look forward to:

Grief Recovery Method

I’m excited to launch group sessions for The Grief Recovery Method, an 8-week program designed to help those who have experienced any type of loss. Did you know there are over 40 types of loss? Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a career, or something else entirely, this program offers a compassionate space for healing.

Myths About Grief
Many of us have been taught certain myths about grief that can make our healing journey even harder: Have you been taught any of the following?

Time heals all wounds.
Replace the loss.
Grieve alone.
Be strong for others.
Bury your feelings.

These myths can leave us feeling stuck and unsupported. The truth is, whether your loss is from death, divorce or the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, trust, faith, safety, health, or something else, your feelings are normal and natural. The problem is that we’ve been socialized to believe these feelings are abnormal or unnatural.

Have you ever heard people say, “You have to let go and move on with your life,” no one tells you how to do that? Has this been true for you? If so, this program offers the tools and compassionate space you need to begin that process.

💌 Scholarship Opportunity: If you’d like to apply for a scholarship to attend one of these sessions in 2025, simply reply to this email with “Apply for Scholarship.”

Save the Date – 3rd Annual Bereaved Mother’s Day (May 3rd)
On Saturday, May 3rd, I will once again host a special event to honor Bereaved Mother’s Day. This day holds deep significance for mothers who have experienced loss, and it will be a time for connection, remembrance, and healing.

2nd Annual Grief Retreat – November 14th–16th
Mark your calendars for a transformative grief retreat this fall. This retreat will be an immersive experience focused on deep healing, renewal, and finding hope amidst the journey of grief before the holidays begin. Stay tuned for more details in the coming months.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey. Your stories, resilience, and openness remind me of the beauty of human connection and the power of holding space for each other. As I close this year’s chapter, I am filled with gratitude for you and hope for what lies ahead.

If there’s one thing, I want to leave you with as we come to the end of 2024, it’s this: Healing doesn’t have a timeline, and there’s no right or wrong way to grieve. Wherever you are right now is enough. Continue to support one another, hold space for the complexities of loss, and welcome moments of joy and peace in the year ahead.

Wishing you comfort, hope, and a gentle close to 2024.

P.S. Imagine starting the new year feeling lighter, more at peace, and ready to reclaim the life you deserve. If this past year has left you feeling stuck, I’m here to help you turn the page and create a future filled with hope, clarity, and purpose.

2025 can be the year you reconnect with your strength, rediscover your joy, and step forward with confidence. Together, we’ll navigate your journey and help you embrace what’s next—with courage and compassion.

If you’re ready to make peace with the past and reclaim your life, let’s take this step forward together.
