You have permission to grieve the way you need to, at your own pace. Grief is not something you can rush through. David Kessler world-renowned grief expert, with decades of experience helping people navigate the challenges of grief shared the following statement with us during one of our classes, that brought me so much peace. I have this posted at work and at home, it’s my Grief Affirmation Statement when I feel sad. Yes, I feel sad sometimes, and it’s ok to feel sad, the sadness reminds me of the love.
“Grief is our mind revolving and replaying events and emotions of what our heart can’t erase. Time doesn’t heal all, because grief is not an illness, it is a new part of our journey in life. It is critical to allow yourself to grieve and experience the emotions and not run from them. We cannot run from grief, what we run from, pursues us and what we face transforms us. All your feelings may not go away, but the hope is that over time, you can grieve with more love than pain.”

David Kessler’s Grief Educator Certification, 2025
Services Offered
I am an online Grief Group Leader for bereaved parents brought together by a non profit, Love in the Trenches, that is based in Baltimore. We are parents that have lost our children due to substance use disorder.
In addition to my work with Love in the Trenches, I support those in their grief locally in Austin, in person and anywhere in the world, online. If you are interested in 1:1 support, please contact me for more information.
I combine my lived experience having lost my daughter to SUD in 2022, what I have learned in my personal grief work and in collaboration with others, study and reflection, as well as, via David Kessler’s certification process, to assist those experiencing grief in a thoughtful manner.
