Feeling Lost in Grief?

Do you feel like no one understands what you're going through, or unsure about how to cope with your loss? You're in the right place. Grief is a journey of relearning—your world, your relationships, and yourself. Our mindfulness-based approach helps you care for your mind, body, and heart without denying your pain.

Progressive Healing

With each step forward, you'll find less confusion and more clarity. Start rebuilding your life and honoring your loss through mindfulness for grief. This isn't just about getting through today; it's about building a resilient future.

Step-by-Step Guidance Through Grief: Heather’s 8-Step Mindfulness and Grief System—featured in the Handbook of Grief Therapies—offers you a structured approach to navigating your emotions and healing. Each step is designed to gradually help you understand and manage your grief with practical, actionable mindfulness techniques. From acknowledging your pain to integrating your experiences into a renewed sense of self, this system will help you move from grief to peace.

Guided by A Seasoned Grief Professional & Published Author

Under Heather's expert guidance, you'll learn to regain control over what you can manage: self-soothing during tough moments, coping with emotional waves, and forging deep connections within a supportive community. Benefit from her over 20 years of experience helping people cope with loss using mindfulness-based techniques, plus her three books and many chapter contributions.

see what awaken members have to say

I love the weekly groups, meditations, community , grief yoga and journaling. I’ve learned so much from Heather and the group support is amazing. It helps you gain a perspective from others experiences. I have also learned to face grief as I progressed instead of stuff it. I would say the support is invaluable and never any judgement, I’ve felt accepted from the very first call.

SR // Awaken Member

I don't know how well I would have managed this ongoing grief terrain without Awaken and Heather. I love grief yoga, it really helps move the energy & emotions, and help me be more present in my being, to help process emotions & be more *here*. I have met just some of the best, kindest, truly wonderful people through being in the Awaken community. I am very grateful, and all the better for it.

AG // Awaken Member

Awaken is the best thing I have done to help me get through losing my mom. Awaken has given me language for grief, an invaluable sense that what I'm going through, although terribly terribly hard, is normal. The meetings are the most important things on my calendar each week and when I need support outside of meeting times, the website is full of resources I can access day or night. With Awaken, I don't feel alone in my grief.
