Hi, I’m Jen, your motherhood grief coach
I help grieving women like you who have experienced pregnancy, infant or child loss take actionable steps towards navigating their grief and feelings of isolation and overwhelm so you can honor your loss in meaningful ways, find ways to connect with your partner and loved ones again and begin reshaping your sense of purpose.
We leave the feelings of being judged, misunderstood and pressured to “move on” at the door so you can take your next steps into living forward with grief.
If this hits home, please hear me:
You are not alone. I hear this every day with the women I work with.
Grieving mom, maybe some of this resonates with you:
You feel overwhelmed with the enormity of your loss. This pregnancy, this baby, this child meant and means everything. Your grief ripples through your present reality and you also find yourself grieving for your former self and your future self — what could have been.
You are feeling like the world is going along its merry way outside your window while you are frozen, shattered.
You feel enormous guilt when you laugh, do something fun or engage in relationships in the way you did previously — you wonder “am I betraying my baby?”, “what would my child think?”, “do I deserve to be happy when my child is no longer here?” and the list goes on and on.
Part of you knows that you have to keep moving forward but thoughts of “moving on” or “getting over it” make you want to vomit. You don’t want to move on. You do not want to get over it.
You’re used to being in control. You typically handle your emotions, stressors and change with relative ease. But grief just destroyed that. Finding your foothold is seeming impossible.
No woman ever plans for this chapter of grief to be a part of their journey into or within motherhood. There is healing ahead, let’s begin to create your roadmap.
There is healing
You can find healing on this painful journey. I help women like you as we work together through the Living Forward Framework in my signature program designed intentionally for women like you.
Living Forward Framework milestones:
Learn about grief and how it is showing up uniquely for you. We ditch the myths about grief and explore the realities of grief and mourning. Your grief is like your fingerprint. It will show up in all areas of your life.
Connect with your baby or child in grief, creating meaningful rituals and memorializing actions that help you feel connected and that you are keeping your child’s memory alive.
Thoughtfully consider what motherhood means to you in the wake of this loss. Whether you are actively engaged in mothering while grieving this painful loss or staring down the road at an uncertain future—your motherhood journey is different than you thought it would be. We’ll explore what this looks like for you and compassionately consider the next steps on this journey.
Take steps towards reconnecting with areas of your life that still matter to you — relationships (your partner, loved ones, friends), career, hobbies… which leads us to:
Honor and explore the guilt that comes up when you engage in acts of living forward. We will come up with strategies for expanding your thinking to include self compassion, hope and meaningful integration of your loss.
Untangle perfectionism, control-seeking and other hang-ups that can try to trip you up as you navigate the unknown of grief.

The Living Forward Program for women who have experienced pregnancy, infant or child loss
Combining compassionate coaching, modern grief education and group support, this twelve week program meets you right where you are — in all of the messiness of grief.
Modern Grief Education
You’ve already tried talking with family or friends (that don’t always get it), listening to podcast episode after episode, adding more books to your to-read list than you count.
In the Living Forward Framework will cut through the noise and zero in on what matters most: exploring and understanding YOUR grief.
As you build understanding of your grief fingerprint through the Living Forward Framework, you will:
build coping tools to care for intense emotions
honor your loss through practices or rituals that feel meaningful to you
decrease the loneliness of grief within your daily life and within the program
create a sustainable plan for daily life while carrying your grief
notice, honor and celebrate your progress and prepare for continued growth
Community of Support
In addition to the Living Forward Framework, you will be invited to a weekly group coaching call with other women who get it. This safe space is here for you to:
share about your loss and your grief
reflect on what you’re learning in the Living Forward Framework Modules
receive real-time support from other women on the journey and decrease the isolation that is so prominent with pregnancy, infant and child loss
learn that though our stories may differ, grief has shaped each group member in unexpected, scary and often overwhelming ways. The grief carried by each person is a reflection of deep love, hopes and dreams forever changed.
Compassionate Coaching
With well over a decade of experiencing supporting grieving women who have experienced pregnancy, infant and child loss, along with a personal deep familiarity with grief — Jen will expertly guide you as you begin to create your path to living forward. In the 12 week program you will:
receive real-time support from Jen in the group coaching calls AND receive support from Jen in the Living Forward private community
through real-time and asynchronous connection, you will have tailored support and feedback that will help you continue building the tools you need for your specific circumstances to compassionately approach living forward
