This is a tricky question to answer. When I use the term "early grief", I am referring to the particular window of time after your loss, when shock surrounds you. When your grief feels raw & fresh. And when the waves roll in relentlessly. The specific length of time will be different for all of us. 

On the one hand, grief isn’t linear. We can experience grief waves or bursts two years out that feel similar to the way we constantly felt earlier on. For many grievers, our grief ebbs and flows. 

But here’s the thing, it’s undeniable that there is something different about the early days. The shock, the all-encompassing nature of it, the way things feel on fire. I remember a friend lent me a book on grief after Brian died and it had a few chapters at the start specifically for “early" grief. I found it helpful. And ultimately, that is what has inspired me to create this mini-course.

You get to define what “early" grief means for you. And I understand that this term itself may feel confusing. Much of the information and strategies presented in this workshop would be helpful during grief waves further out as well, and may be used throughout your grief journey.

Ultimately, after navigating and working in the grief space for years, I’ve noticed that coaches & practitioners seem hesitant to offer programs for those in early grief. It was important to me that I create a course specifically geared for people navigating this particular season of the grieving process.

Yes, absolutely. It’s so hard to know how to help or what to get for people who are grieving. I hope that this mini-course can be just that, a resource that will actually support them in feeling less alone during a time that can be so isolating. I have created the gift that I would have wanted to get during my early days.

If you are purchasing this for a friend or someone you love, you can use your email upon checkout, so that you receive the receipt - but can create login info for your friend and send it on to them. You can also forward them the welcome email. If you're having any issues with the process, just email my team at [email protected] and we will help you get sorted. 

This mini-course is presented as a pre-recorded 45-minute video lesson & a 15-minute bonus somatic class (also recorded on video). The somatic class teaches a simple, gentle somatic routine that will help grievers signal safety to their bodies and begin to bring their nervous systems back to a more regulated state, after the trauma of their loss. 

You can watch the video & do the somatic lesson all at once in 60-minutes if you wish, or you may decide to space it out. You can return to the videos and use the pre-recorded somatic class as many times as you wish, so there is no rush.
