Loving Someone You Are Losing

A Free 4-Week Companion for Anticipatory Grief

Sometimes grief arrives before the loss. It shows up at dinner, on the drive home after a visit, or at 2am, while the person you love is still here.

This gentle guide is for that in-between place: adult children watching a parent age, caregivers, and anyone loving someone through a diagnosis, dementia, a long illness or addiction. Over four weeks you'll find language for what you're feeling, somatic practices to steady your nervous system, and small ways to make the most of the time you still have.

Grace, Space + Base™

My Signature Framework for Navigating Grief

Grace, Space + Base™ is a way of moving through grief that feels human and sustainable. It offers self-compassion when everything feels heavy, room to feel and heal at your own pace, and the grounding tools and support that help you stay steady through the hardest moments.

Think of it as a compassionate roadmap for finding your footing again.

The Rulebook Sessions

Twelve rules women never agreed to. We break one at a time.

Be small. Be quiet. Apologize first. Nobody sat you down and taught you these rules, but you learned them anyway.

Each session is breath, singing bowls, a short teaching, and one small rule broken out loud. You never have to explain why you follow a rule. Camera optional, always.

  • Next: Apologize first · Wednesday, October 14
  • In person (Oct–Nov + March 31): Kelowna area, doors 6:45pm, 7:00–8:15pm
  • Online (Dec–March): 6:30–7:45pm PT, camera optional
  • Cost: free · live · no recording

After the Fall™

A 12-Week Framework for Stabilizing, Integrating + Rebuilding After Loss

If you're here, something happened: a death, a diagnosis, a divorce, a job that defined you, a version of your life you didn't choose to lose. After the Fall™ is built for the middle ground: structured enough to actually get you somewhere, honest enough to never ask you to rush.

Start the self-guided course any time, join the next live Grief Circle in January 2027, or work through it with me one-on-one.
