About Angel

Hey, I’m Angel — a certified grief coach and the founder of Healing in Pieces Project.
My connection to grief is deeply personal. After losing my sister, Sarah, I learned that grief isn’t something you simply “get over.” It changes you, your relationships, your routines, and sometimes even the way you see yourself.
That experience eventually led me here — creating the kind of space I believe grieving people deserve: one where you don’t have to pretend you’re okay, explain why you’re still hurting, or follow someone else’s timeline for healing.
Through non-clinical grief coaching and support, I help people navigate the everyday realities of life after loss. Sometimes that means finding ways to cope with difficult days. Sometimes it’s rebuilding routines, setting boundaries, navigating changing relationships, or simply having a place where you can talk honestly about your grief.
I’m not here to give you perfect answers or tell you how to grieve. I
’m here to walk alongside you as you figure out what moving forward looks like for you — while still making space for the person, relationship, or life you’re grieving.
You don’t have to do it all at once. And you don’t have to do it alone.
My Approach to Grief Support

Grief doesn’t need to be fixed. It needs space to be acknowledged.
My approach is centered on meeting you where you are — without timelines, judgment, or pressure to “move on.”
Through non-clinical grief coaching and support, we can talk honestly about what life after loss looks like for you. That might mean navigating difficult emotions, rebuilding routines, setting boundaries, adjusting to changing relationships, or finding ways to carry your grief while continuing to live your life.
I believe support should feel human, practical, and personal. You don’t have to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or have everything figured out before reaching out.
We make space for the grief — without letting it define every part of you.

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.
