For people who help grieving people

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

If you support people through grief, loss, or major life change, you already know how meaningful this work is.

You may also know how demanding it can be. Holding space. Staying present. Carrying stories that stay with you long after sessions end. Wanting to help deeply, without pushing past your own limits.

This Thursday, I’m hosting a live, free Q&A where I’ll introduce the Mindfulness and Grief System and answer questions about the Mindfulness and Grief Coach Certification.

This session is for therapists, chaplains, yoga teachers, meditation teachers, and other helping professionals who want a trauma-sensitive, mindfulness-based way to support grieving people without burning out or feeling like they have to fix what cannot be fixed.

During the session, I’ll share:

  • How mindfulness and self-compassion can support both you and your clients
  • What the certification looks like in practice, including time commitment
  • How the 8-step Mindfulness and Grief System works in group and one-to-one settings
  • Space to ask me your real questions, live

There is no pressure to enroll. This is simply a chance to get clarity, experience the approach, and decide whether it fits your work and your life.

​You can register here for Thursday, January 22 at 12:00 pm ET​
​Replay included if you cannot attend live

If you love this work and are looking for a more sustainable, embodied way to do it, I would love to have you join us.

With compassion,

Support and Resources

Hello Reader, A new episode of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast is out today. In this conversation, Amanda and I explore the second step in the Mindfulness & Grief system: mindful awareness. Many people think mindfulness means clearing the mind or forcing ourselves to stay calm. In grief, that can feel impossible. Mindfulness is not about having fewer thoughts. It is about learning how to see them more clearly. 🎧 Listen here: Episode 60: From Rumination to Wisdom (or search for Mindfulness &...

Hello Reader, Last week in the Monthly Living With Grief webinar, we spent time with a practice that felt especially right for this season. I led a shorter version of my Journey to Your Heart Center meditation, and it was powerful to witness. Valentine’s Day can stir up a lot. Even if you tell yourself it is just another day, the imagery is everywhere. Hearts. Romance. Partnership. It can feel like the world is highlighting what is no longer physically present. Your nervous system notices....

Hello Reader, Grief is not something I believe we are meant to navigate alone. It is relational. It unfolds in conversation, in reflection, and in being witnessed. And over time, I realized that I no longer wanted to be having these conversations by myself. So I want to introduce you to Amanda Palermo, who is joining me as the new cohost of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast. Amanda has been part of my world for a long time. She is a member of Awaken, walked her own path through grief, and...
