Navigating Grief With Compassion
Find steadiness with your grief - without feeling rushed, judged or pressured to move on.
SELF-GUIDED WORKSHOP
Navigating Grief with Compassion is an online workshop for grief after parent loss. It helps you understand your grief without rushing yourself or trying to do it “the right way” for anyone else.
Instead of powering on at work, keeping everyone else steady and then unravelling in private, you’ll receive simple, grounded guidance on what grief actually is, how it shows up in your brain and body, and what you can do to support yourself day to day.
This self-guided workshop is for quietly capable, often over-giving adults navigating life after losing a parent – through bereavement, anticipatory loss or distance – who want practical support, not platitudes.
What someone said after watching…
"I learned a lot and walked away with far more self compassion and understanding of my grief than I started with."
— Cassie Wilkins
What you'll walk away with
This workshop is designed to help you build steadiness, make space for what you’re feeling, and begin to make sense of your grief.
How grief actually works
Why it’s non-linear, why you don’t “move through stages”, and why nothing’s wrong with you if it feels messy or out of order.
How to be less brutal with yourself
Simple, practical self-compassion practices you can use on hard days, anniversaries or after emotional spikes.
What your emotions are trying to tell you and what to do next
How relief, anger, sadness, numbness and guilt can all coexist after losing a parent, and how to respond to them without spiralling.
What’s happening in your brain and body in ways that explain exhaustion, fog, and emotional reactivity
Accessible, science-based insight into how grief affects your energy, focus and stress levels. Plus, ideas for gentle regulation and restoration you can actually do.
What you'll receive
Immediate access to a gently paced, self-guided workshop, divided into four short lessons (around 10 - 15 minutes each.) You can move through these in your own time.
An optional reflection inviting you to explore connection to your parent through the things that mattered to them, such as their interests, traits, or values.
A workshop summary and action guide with helpful notes of what we covered and gentle practices per lesson, which help apply the ideas to your real life, not just understand them in theory.
Ongoing access so you can revisit the lessons or gentle practices whenever you need a steadier, more compassionate perspective on your grief.
Quiet updates for students through the option to join my private email list for workshop students and coaching clients, where I share occasional grief-related reflections and digests, gentle check-ins and early access to future resources. No spam, no constant broadcasts.
