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.

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

Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here. Grief is not something we’re meant to do alone. And yet, most people are grieving in isolation—quietly, privately, and often feeling like they’re doing it “wrong.” Community matters in grief because grief is relational. Loss happens in relationship, and healing doesn’t come from disappearing into yourself—it comes from being witnessed, understood, and supported by people who get it. This space exists so you don’t have to explain yourself. So you don’t have to minimize your pain. So you don’t have to pretend you’re fine when you’re not—or pretend you’re broken when you’re not either. Here, we focus on the fundamentals of grief: Understanding what’s happening in your brain, heart, and nervous system. Reframing the stories that keep you stuck. And learning how to carry your loss and your life forward at the same time. This isn’t about fixing you. It’s about walking together. Learning together. And remembering that grief doesn’t mean you’re alone—even when it feels that way. Take your time. Read. Share when you’re ready. You belong here.
