As a Certified Grief Coach, I understand the importance of creating an accessible space for individuals navigating grief. The purpose of this accessibility statement is to ensure that the Healing In Pieces Project website is accessible to everyone, including those with disabilities. We are committed to meeting the requirements of local laws and ensuring that our site provides an inclusive experience for all visitors.
Healing in Pieces Project
Mission Statement
Healing in Pieces Project exists to walk alongside people in grief with compassion, honesty, and realness. We believe healing doesn’t happen all at once — it comes together in pieces.
Inspired by the life and loss of my sister, Sarah, this work is rooted in lived experience and a deep understanding that grief is personal. There is no timeline, no “right way” to grieve, and no expectation to simply move on.
Through non-clinical grief support, coaching, community, and practical tools, we create space for people to honor their loss, navigate the changes grief brings, and learn how to move forward while still making space for their grief.

Gentle Reminder - These groups are peer-based and community-focused, not therapy. They’re here to offer connection and understanding and can be used alongside other forms of support.
You are allowed to move through grief at your own pace —
healing in pieces and not all at once.
