Although I’ve lost friends and family over the years, each loss hits a little different. 7/5/24..not only did that day effect me, it changed me in ways I never thought I would. I lost that spark, i don’t know if I’ll never get that back but what I do know is I wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for coming across Toni’s live just a week after my loss. I took that step and signed up for the online course and it is life changing. And what’s great is you can replay it over and over, for the extra little reminder, to keep going! I am so glad I can be a part of an amazing community of beautiful souls.

I want to share something I’ve been reflecting on. Watching what these coaches are quietly building has stopped me in my tracks — not because it’s impressive on paper, but because it’s real. People are taking their lived experience with grief and turning it into something steady, ethical, and deeply supportive for others. Here’s what that looks like right now: In Colorado, one coach began with simple one-on-one support. That grew into a coaching practice rooted in grief literacy. This year, she became an author and now works in collaboration with therapists who refer clients to her for peer-based care. In New Jersey, another coach noticed how lost schools felt when grief showed up. She now partners with school districts, running grief education for staff and peer support spaces for students — helping schools respond instead of freeze. In Ireland, a coach blended grief training with community work to create small peer-to-peer circles. These groups now support people who didn’t feel met by traditional systems and wanted something human, not clinical. None of these people had a perfect plan. They trusted where they were. They trusted their process. And they said yes before they had it all figured out. If we’re being honest — we need people doing this work. People who are willing to take a chance on themselves. To trust their experience. To trust the quiet knowing that says, maybe this is something I’m meant to do. If you’ve felt even the smallest pang — a pause, a tug, a “what if” — I want you to consider saying yes. Enrollment to become a certified grief coach is now open. There are multiple pathways and offers designed to meet you where you are, and it’s important that you read carefully through the different coach levels to choose what truly fits your life, capacity, and goals.

Hi, 20 years ago I lost my mam and due to recent passings its brought my mams passing to the forefront. At the sametime I'm grieving who I once was, as I'm leaving work on ill health retirement due to medical grounds. I feel that I've lost my role as a parent, no longer needed as a work colleague and as I'm housebound at present the lost of friendships, and grieving who I am as well as many bereavements.

Some mornings feel like this strange split. There’s a moment — before your brain catches up — where love is just love. Where the body is calm. Where nothing hurts yet. And then memory walks in. Grief taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey. Don’t forget.” And suddenly you’re divided between: - the quiet of the now - and the weight of what’s missing That doesn’t mean you’re doing grief wrong. It means your nervous system is trying to protect you. That calm moment wasn’t denial. It was your system regulating. The remembering isn’t weakness. It’s attachment. Grief isn’t one state — it’s a constant shifting between presence and memory. If mornings are the hardest for you, you’re not broken. You’re human. And you don’t have to figure this out alone. 👉 If you want to understand grief from the inside out — the brain, the body, the identity shift — go to MasterGrief.com. This isn’t about surviving loss. It’s about learning how to live with it. #grief #morninggrief #griefjourney #bereavement #loss #healinggrief #griefeducation #nervoussystem #griefsupport #mastergrief #griefwork

Hey everyone — welcome. I’m really glad you’re here. I’m only a few days into Skool myself, so we’re building this space together — not arriving at something polished. And that matters, because grief rarely shows up neat or finished. This community is different from my TikTok for one reason: TikTok is for awakening. This space is for integration. Here are a few grief truths I want to offer as you settle in — things I don’t usually share publicly: 1. Grief doesn’t need to be pushed out or bottled up — it needs to be held Healing doesn’t come from constant release. It comes from learning how to let grief be present without it overwhelming you. That’s not suppression. That’s capacity. 2. If grief gets louder at night, nothing is wrong Night removes distraction. Your nervous system finally has room to feel. This isn’t regression — it’s your body asking for gentleness, not fixing. 3. Healing isn’t closure — it’s authorship Most people stay stuck reacting to loss. Healing begins when the question shifts from: “Why did this happen?” to: “Who am I becoming in response to this?” That shift changes how grief lives inside you. 4. You don’t need to be strong — you need support Strength exhausts people. Support stabilizes people. This space is about building: - emotional steadiness - language for what you’re experiencing - internal safety - meaning that doesn’t erase love or pain A gentle invitation You don’t need to share your whole story. If you want, introduce yourself with one sentence: “Right now, grief feels like ______.” No fixing. No advice. Just being witnessed. I’m really glad you’re here. We’ll move at a human pace. — Toni
