Untangling the Knots™
A grief-informed framework for navigating layered grief with clarity and compassion

​​Grief doesn’t follow rules​.

​

• It doesn’t expire on a schedule.

• And it doesn’t always show up in tears.

• Sometimes, grief is decades old.

• Sometimes, it looks like fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, people-pleasing, or chronic stress.

• Sometimes, it lives quietly — in the body, in the breath, in the nervous system.

​

And it isn’t always about death.​

​

Grief can arise from any number of things, including divorce, career or identity loss, estrangement, betrayal, illness, or the collapse of something you once believed in. It can be sudden or cumulative, acknowledged or invisible.

​​

This work is rooted in story — and in lived experience.

​

My own grief journey began when we lost our infant daughter, Lauren, to SIDS — a sudden and devastating loss that changed everything.  In the years since, I’ve supported other bereaved families, led SIDS education programs and trainings, studied grief and trauma, and become a Certified Grief Educator.

​

Over time, I came to see that grief is never just about what happened — it’s also about how we’re held after, what came before, and who we are inside.​
