Grief Coaching for Young Widows & Partner Loss
1:1 support for life after the death of a spouse or life partner
I’m so sorry you have reason to be on this page. And I’m glad you found your way here.
I was 30 when my husband, Drew, died suddenly. Even as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist, nothing had prepared me for how absolutely lost I would feel.
Now, more than 13 years later, my own experience of living with grief is at the heart of the support I offer, alongside my professional background and extensive training in grief coaching, mindfulness, and body-based practices.
This is a place where you can bring whatever is on your mind and heart. The memories you want to share, the questions you don't have answers to, the decisions you're facing, the everyday missing, and the feelings you don't know how to explain.
While I know the pain of losing a partner, I also know that every person's experience is different. Whether it’s been months or years since your loss, I'm here to listen, to understand what feels hardest right now, and to help you find ways to care for yourself and your grief.
How Can Grief Coaching Help?
The death of a partner is devastating. Alongside the heartbreak of missing your person, you’re left facing so many other losses and changes, from everyday routines and responsibilities to your sense of self and the future you were supposed to have together.
Grief doesn't just affect your emotions and daily life. It also affects your mind, body, and nervous system. The anxiety. The worries and regrets. The brain fog and forgetfulness. Feeling exhausted, but unable to sleep.
This is a place to bring whatever you’re feeling, without having to explain it all or even know what you need. Together, we can talk about what feels hardest right now, the overwhelming emotions, unanswered questions, difficult decisions, and everyday challenges. Here, you can remember your partner and honour your memories and the love that continues while exploring practical ways to care for yourself and your grief.
What to Expect:
We meet online through Zoom for 60-minute sessions. How often we meet and for how many sessions depends on what feels most supportive for you.
Each session is guided by what's happening in your life and what you need that day.
There might be days when you want to talk about the sadness, anger, guilt, or loneliness. Days when you want to tell stories about your partner and your life together. And days when you need help with a difficult decision, support with a personal situation, or time to explore who you are now and what matters to you.
We can also bring in mindfulness, journallng, movement, or body-based practices to care for your nervous system when grief feels overwhelming. I have a whole toolbox of practices and approaches we can draw from, and we choose what feels most supportive for you.
You don't need to prepare anything or know what you want to talk about.
Session investment: $125 CAD / 60 minutes
Sliding-scale rates are available if finances are a barrier. It's deeply important to me that support is accessible to anyone who needs it, so please reach out if cost is a concern.
