Living With Grief video with a gentle mindfulness practice

Published 5 days ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Thank you to those of you who were able to join the live Living With Grief workshop last week.

Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, whether you are navigating your first loss or carrying many, this recording may meet you where you are.

🔗 You can watch the workshop replay here​

In this month’s workshop, we explored:

  • Why grief affects the body, emotions, mind, relationships, and sense of identity
  • Why grief can feel disorienting, overwhelming, or physically exhausting
  • How the grieving brain continues to search for someone we love, and why that can feel unsettling
  • Why emotional waves are a normal part of living with loss, not a sign you are doing something wrong
  • How mindfulness supports presence and self-compassion, without trying to fix or rush grief

The workshop also includes a guided mindfulness practice focused on gently showing up for yourself in difficult moments.

The live workshops also include a Q&A, which isn’t shared publicly in order to protect the privacy of those who attend live.

If you’d like to join us for a future session, the Living With Grief workshop is offered once a month, and you’re always welcome. It will be different each time.

📅 🎥 Join me for the next live workshop on February 12 here​

Please feel free to share the recording and the live workshop page with anyone who may need it.

And until we meet again, be kind to your grieving heart.

With compassion,

Support and Resources

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....

Hello Reader, The start of a new year can bring a mix of things when you are living with grief. There can be pressure to feel hopeful, to move forward, or to set intentions that do not quite fit where you actually are. There can also be a quiet worry about what lies ahead, especially if time feels like it is moving faster than you are ready for. I shared some thoughts about this in a recent post, Grief in the New Year, including a few gentle ways to meet this season without asking yourself to...

Hello Reader, As the year comes to a close, many grieving people notice a quiet anxiety creeping in. The world talks about fresh starts and new beginnings, but grief does not reset at midnight. When someone you love is missing, the turning of the calendar can feel heavy, disorienting, or deeply lonely. You might find yourself wondering how to ring in a new year you never asked for. If that’s where you are, you’re not doing anything wrong. You do not need to celebrate. You do not need to feel...
