Grief changed me in ways I could never imagine
I found my way here through my own lived experience of grief and everything it brought with it (alot!). What I share now comes from that place

The Version of Me Before Grief
There was a time before grief, when I was a people-pleaser, climbing the corporate ladder and doing all the 'things' that were expected of me. Then grief arrived, not once but five times...and everything changed including me
The losses that changed everything
In 4.5 years, I lost five family members, one to suicide, one to Covid, one suddenly, one two weeks after and one through the heartbreak of a long goodbye.
It felt like grief kept arriving without space to breathe or process in between. Each loss reshaped me. My identity collapsed, and I found myself rebuilding from a place of darkness and self-destruction, supported by my own grief coach. And that is why I do this work.
The layers of grief I’ve lived through
I know what it’s like for your purpose, self-worth, and identity to collapse while still functioning. To show up at work and in relationships like everything is fine, while internally feeling disconnected, empty, and lost in the dark.
I know what it feels like to become anxiously attached to everyone in your life… just in case. And I know what it’s like when talking isn’t enough, and you need something more.
And from the darkness, Glimmers Through Grief was born
Grief changed me in ways I’m still understanding and unravelling…I think I always will be and that’s okay. It taught me that I could be cracked wide open and put back together again, just in a different way. In the darkness, where I had no purpose I started looking for tiny glimmers of hope like the sunshine, the birds singing or just brushing my teeth if it was one of those days. From there they built until the world looked a little less dark and meaningless. It's why this work is so personal for me. It's the one thing that helped me find my purpose again
You're safe here
There is no pressure here to be anything other than where you are right now. You don’t have to hold it all together, find the right words, or explain your grief in any particular way. We go at your pace, with space for pauses, silence, emotion, and whatever else needs to be there in the moment.
This is a gentle, trauma-informed space where your experience is met with care, not judgement. You are allowed to show up exactly as you are — even if that changes from one moment to the next. You don’t have to do this alone.
