My first experience with invisible grief happened before I was ten years old.
Three tragic losses before age 10, in addition to three moves and three different schools.
Each transition erased a version of myself that I’d barely had time to become. While the deaths in my life received recognition and condolences, divorce and relocation did not.
It was the invisible losses that cut deepest:
The friendships that ended with each move, the sense of belonging I never quite found,
the stability I craved but could not put a name to. Later came the losses adults face but rarely discuss. Job loss that shattered my identity. Divorce that grieved not just a person, but an entire future. The slow erosion of dreams I had held sacred. Life reshaped me into someone I did not quite recognize.
Through these invisible losses, I learned something profound: Healing does not mean getting over someone or something. It means learning to carry love and loss in new ways while discovering who you are becoming.
Professional Background:
For over 30 years, I worked in funeral homes and cemeteries, bearing witness to thousands of families navigating their darkest moments. I watched grief in all its forms, the socially sanctioned grief that came with flowers and support, and the invisible grief people carried alone.
I saw widows grieve not just their husbands, but their identity as wives. I watched adult children mourn parents they had complicated relationships with, unable to express their ambivalent feelings. I witnessed the silent grief of miscarriage, the dismissed grief of pet loss, and the stigmatized grief of suicide.
The funeral industry taught me that some of the most profound grief happens in the spaces between official losses.
After decades of professional experience and my own winding grief journey, I realized my calling: to witness and honor the losses society does not see.
I Heal Invisible Grief, Because Every Loss Deserves to Be Seen.
- The empty nest mother is grieving her identity while everyone congratulates her on her freedom.
- The woman navigating infertility faces endless questions.
- The divorcee mourns an entirely imagined future.
- The person with chronic illness is grieving the body and life they used to have.
These grief journeys often go unwitnessed. This is where I offer sacred companionship.
My Approach:
I developed The Seasons of Healing™ framework, a nature-based approach that honors how grief actually moves, not in straight lines, but in seasons that spiral and return. This is not therapy or a quick fix; it is sacred companionship through one of life's most profound passages.
What I Believe:
Your invisible grief is just as real as any other kind, worthy of care. You are not broken, you are becoming. Healing happens in seasons, not in straight lines. Every loss deserves to be witnessed.
My Invitation:
If you are carrying an invisible loss no one else seems to understand, if you are tired of pretending you are fine when you are grieving, if you are ready to honor your loss while discovering who you are becoming,
I see you. Your grief is real. And I would be honored to walk beside you.
Walking beside you might look like gaining clarity on your invisible grief in just 30 days. It may seem like a journey through all four seasons of healing over four months. Or it might look like a full year of sacred accountability as you transform grief into awakened, purposeful living.
I have designed three programs because grief is not one-size-fits-all. Your losses are unique; your timeline is your own. And the support you need depends on where you are right now.
