We will ALL have to face loss in our lives.

Meet your coach

After 20 years as a writer, editor and website manager, Kirsten retrained as a grief coach. The primary impetus came from witnessing the profound grief her partner experienced in losing his wife at the age of 51, and the far-reaching effect this loss had on him and his family. Navigating his grief was ongoing, and relentlessly tough, and after meeting, it affected their new relationship too.

The turmoil of life after numerous losses, which included bereavement, divorce, life with an addict (who subsequently suffered a brain aneurysm), living with (and home-educating) two autistic children, and then a profound loss of self and identity due to peri-menopause, led Kirsten to search for a more meaningful vocation. One where she could open her heart to others who had experienced similar trauma, and help to gently guide them with her undeniable optimism and perseverance, revealing new life after grief. And that healing is indeed possible.

Healing after divorce

Divorce can trigger deep emotional turmoil, including feelings of abandonment, betrayal, or failure, even when mutually agreed upon, as it marks the end of a shared future. Beyond the relationship itself, many grieve the loss of roles like spouse or co-parent, which often shape personal identity.

Because society frequently downplays the emotional impact of divorce, grief coaching offers vital support by validating these experiences and guiding individuals through the complex process of healing.
