A structured, self-paced program to help you understand, stabilize, and live with grief, without bypassing or drowning in it.


Based on research, and working with thousands of grievers.


A Fresh Start to Navigating Your Grief

Mindfully Navigating Grief:


Grief can feel disorienting.

Not just painful—but confusing.
You may be functioning on the outside while struggling inwardly.
You may wonder if what you’re feeling is normal, if it will ever shift, or if you’re somehow “doing grief wrong.”

This course exists to offer clarity, containment, and steady guidance, not pressure to heal or move on.


You will learn and practice ways to find solace and respite in the midst of grief, gain tools and agency to take some control over things, and be with what is here with more confidence.


In this course, YOU WILL BE GUIDED STEP BY STEP in


  • ✓ how to navigate your grief and loss towards a more peaceful state
  • ✓ understanding and working with the difficult and challenging emotions of grief
  • ✓ practical and meaningful self-care while managing the daily responsibilities of life
  • ✓ learning how to support yourself through the challenging times, and 
  • ✓ understanding how to gain more control in your life


in a step-by-step approach that has been tested and proven for over 12 years supporting thousands of clients, so that you don’t have to guess and you can find it all in one place.

This course is especially helpful if:

  • You are functioning day to day but feel emotionally unsteady underneath
  • grief comes in waves you don’t know how to meet
  • you’re tired of advice that tells you to “be strong” or “move forward”
  • you want guidance that explains what’s happening inside you, not just how to cope
  • you want a compassionate structure you can return to in your own time

You do not need to be in crisis.
You do need a way to make sense of what you’re carrying.

What this course offers

Mindfully Navigating Grief is not about fixing grief.

It is about:


  • Understanding how grief actually works
  • Learning how to be with it without becoming overwhelmed
  • Reducing fear, self-blame, and emotional confusion
  • Developing steadiness rather than avoidance or collapse
  • Many participants describe feeling relief, not because grief disappears, but because it finally makes sense.

Why self-paced support matters

Grief does not unfold on a schedule.

A self-paced format allows you to:

  • Move gently and privately
  • Pause and return as needed
  • Engage without emotional exposure
  • Revisit practices over time

This course often serves as a foundation for further grief support, but it stands fully on its own.

Five Guided Modules You Can Move Through at Your Own Pace

  • Module 1: Orientation

Grief can feel disorienting and unfamiliar, which often creates fear before we understand what is happening.

This module offers a steady orientation to grief, what it is, what it is not, and why your experience may feel the way it does, so you can engage with it with less confusion and more internal steadiness.

  • Module 2: Meeting Grief as It Is

Grief does not arrive neatly. It shifts, intensifies, recedes, and returns.

This module supports you in learning how to meet emotional experience as it arises, without pressure to change it, fix it, or push it away. The emphasis is on building a sense of internal stability during difficult moments.

  • Module 3: Relating to Grief With Compassion

Alongside grief, many people carry self-judgment, resistance, or the feeling that they should be “handling this better.”

This module explores a grounded, practical approach to compassion, one that softens inner struggle without minimizing loss or rushing healing, so grief can be met with greater patience and understanding.


  • Module 4: Working With Difficult Emotions in Daily Life

Grief does not stay contained to quiet moments. It often arises unexpectedly, in the middle of ordinary days.

This module focuses on supporting you during moments when grief intensifies, helping you feel more resourced and less overwhelmed as you move through daily life.

  • Module 5: Living Forward With Grief

Grief does not disappear, but it can become more integrated.

This module explores how grief can be carried forward without defining or overtaking your life, supporting a way of living that allows for meaning, resilience, and self-kindness alongside loss.

You do not need to complete this course in order. Many participants move between modules depending on what they need at different moments in their grief.
