Meet The Grief Sanctuary

I didn’t create the Grief Sanctuary because I saw a gap in the market.

I created it because I lived the gap.

Grief entered my life and stayed.

Through the loss of my husband.

Through the loss of my daughter.

Through the accumulation of losses that quietly dismantle a person - piece by piece.

What I discovered was devastating and clarifying:

There are many places to be busy with grief.
Very few places to be held by it.
 

I learned how quickly the world moves on.
How uncomfortable grief makes people.
How often silence is mistaken for strength.

And how many people, especially men, are never given permission to fall apart.

So they don’t.

They carry it alone.

My work is grounded in:

Lived experience 

Trauma-informed grief support 

Nervous-system safety

Deep respect for your pace and boundaries
 

I don’t believe grief needs to be cured.

I believe it needs to be integrated.

Why this work is personal

Grief didn’t arrive once in my life.

It arrived, stayed, and reshaped everything.

I lost my husband.
I lost my daughter.

I lost my parents.

I lost my beloved dogs.

And I lost the version of myself who thought grief had a beginning, a middle, and an end.

What I didn’t lose, though at times it felt buried was my capacity to understand pain from the inside.

I know what it’s like to wake up and realise the world kept moving when yours stopped.

To carry loss quietly because it feels easier than explaining.

To be “functional” while feeling fractured inside.

The Grief Sanctuary exists because I couldn’t find a place that allowed grief to be honest, slow, and human.

So I created the space I needed and now hold it for others.
