I offer one-on-one peer mentoring sessions via video for those who are widowed.

Hi, I’m Tanya- welcome to the club nobody wants to join.

As a 9/11 widow living happily ‘even’ after, I totally get the enormity of the widowed experience. I am here to support you while offering hope that you can get through the devastation of grief, one breath at a time.

While your grief journey and timeline will be unique to you, as your widow mentor I will meet you wherever you are and help guide you through your darkest days with compassion and connection.

The journey through widowhood can be so deeply painful and disorienting, but it can also be transformative- in a good way. I would be honored to work with you, so let’s schedule a call. Please visit tanyavtepper.com for more information.

Hello, my name is Lesley Brown and I am a Certified Grief Educator. I support people through the pain of loss to create a life that honors their loved one.  I am available to meet with individuals or groups, in person or via zoom. Please reach out and let’s talk about how I can help.

As much as I’ve chased numerous “certifications” in thanatology, I consider the lower-case title of lifelong griever and my own losses to be the most important credential in my work as a Grief Tender.

I’m wary of so much of what passes for certifications, be that the coaching industry, where a weekend workshop somehow suffices for coaching expertise, or the old-school bereavement model, where grief has been pathologized and understood to be some one-size-fits-all equation. As Jan Richardson reminds us, “grief is particular.”

My approach to grief’s particularity is both consultative and creative. I lean in listening to your story and set an altar and a chair for your grief to make itself at home. I equip you with essentials for your grief backpack so that no matter where you find yourself on your journey, you’ll feel better prepared to meet the challenges. And together, be that individually and/or in community with other grievers, we map a way forward, so you feel seen, heard, and hallowed in your grief.
