The Grief Gurus
The Grief Gurus Healing Community is a virtual space for women who are carrying grief—whether it’s recent or something that’s been with you for a long time.
You don’t have to have the right words.
You don’t have to share your story.
You don’t have to be in a certain place.
You can simply come and listen.
Most people move through grief quietly, trying to make sense of it on their own.
This space offers something different—a place to be around others who understand, without needing to explain.
Everything inside the community is optional.
You can engage as much or as little as you want, at your own pace.
We offer two weeks of complimentary access so you can explore the space gently and see what feels right for you.
Because grief is part of your story… but it was never meant to be the whole story.

What Should I Do on the Anniversary of Their Death?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.
The anniversary of a loved one's death can bring a wide range of emotions—sadness, gratitude, love, anxiety, reflection, or even unexpected peace. There is no right way to experience these milestone days, and what feels meaningful can change from year to year.
In this conversation, Carol reflects on the eighth anniversary of her husband's death and shares some of the ways she has learned to approach this significant day. We explore different ways to honor and remember someone we love, the importance of staying open to whatever emotions arise, and why planning for self-care can make a meaningful difference.
In this video, we discuss:
• Different ways to honor and remember a loved one on their anniversary
• Why there is no "right" way to spend the day
• The importance of reflection and self-compassion
• How anniversaries can change over time
• Creating space for both remembrance and self-care
Whether the anniversary is approaching for the first time or the twentieth, we hope this conversation offers comfort, perspective, and permission to honor your grief in whatever way feels right for you.
