You don't have
to navigate this loss alone
Gentle, personalized grief support to help you find peace, build resilience, and honor your love—guided by Heather Stang, award-winning grief counselor and author.
A confidential 20-minute call to explore how I can support you.
When you are grieving, even the smallest tasks seem impossible
Grief doesn’t just hurt—it takes over your life.
It affects your sleep, your focus, your appetite, your relationships.
You might feel:
Numb or disconnected from your body
Overwhelmed by emotions at unexpected moments
Tired of pretending you're okay
Unsure how to keep going—or if you want to
Well-meaning advice often feels hollow. And the world moves on long before you’re ready.
But grief doesn’t follow a schedule.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.
Transform the heartache of grief into love and self-compassion
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel.
You don’t have to walk this path alone.
My mindfulness-based approach supports you with calm, clarity, and compassion—even during your most difficult moments.

Developed through decades of experience—and recognized with the 2025 Clinical Practice Award from the Association of Death Education and Counseling—this system helps you:
- Work with your emotions instead of resisting them
- Rebuild your life while staying connected to the one you’ve lost

What my clients say
What was missing for me with other support group was tools and validation. Heather doesn't just lead/administer the group, she hears you, receives your pain in such a beautiful way. You know you have been heard by someone skillful in grief and others who know your pain all to well.
Karen
bereaved daughter
Those moments when I was just in angst or couldn’t sleep…I could turn to the processes in the modules or things we had shared on calls and find those moments of peace and eventually the moments linked into hours and days and weeks.
Sharon

The meditation practice has been crucial to helping me gain some level of calm and acceptance about life on life's terms. Heather's gentle presence is a weekly respite from the relentless pain of grief, and her wisdom about the grieving process helps to normalize all that we experience as we move through it.
