Upcoming Talks & Presentations

I’m honored to speak with communities, organizations, and care teams about grief, mourning, and how to truly support people through loss. My talks are practical, compassionate, and grounded in both lived experience and real research — not myths or outdated models.

Available presentations include:

  • Healthy Grieving — What grief actually is (and isn’t), and practical tools for processing loss and rebuilding a meaningful life.
  • Navigating Grief During the Holidays — Real strategies for getting through one of the hardest times of year to grieve, from handling traditions to managing well-meaning but painful comments from others.
  • Staff In-Services on Grief & Mourning — Training for care teams and staff on what grieving looks like, healthy mourning techniques, and what to say (and avoid saying) to someone in grief.

Interested in booking a talk for your organization, senior center, funeral home, or care team? I’d love to hear from you.
