Sis, Grief Doesn't Take a Holiday
When life shifts, your heart does too.
During the holidays, the ache gets louder. Come as you are. Leave lighter than you arrived.
This gathering is designed to hold space for women navigating grief in all its forms—not just the grief that follows death, but the grief that comes with transition, disappointment, unmet expectations, identity shifts, motherhood, marriage, and the quiet losses we rarely name out loud.
This is not just a conversation. This is a guided journey from Grief to Relief—authentic, therapeutic, faith-filled, and practical.
What This Experience Is About
This is not another heavy, tear-soaked workshop—this is a guided, grace-filled experience designed to help you navigate grief without losing yourself in it. Life keeps changing, sometimes faster than we can catch our breath.

Create Space to Pause
Acknowledge where you are without judgment or shame
2

This experience creates room for you to pause, acknowledge where you are, and gently move toward where healing is calling you—FREEDOM.

Help you soften, settle, and finally say what your spirit has been holding

What You'll Leave With
Sis, you'll walk away with more than information—you'll walk away feeling seen, heard, and connected to a community of women who get it.

The named, the unspoken, and the misunderstood grief finally has language

To feel. To rest. To remember.
To choose yourself without guilt.
You'll leave with permission to honor your journey exactly as it is—messy, beautiful, sacred, and uniquely yours. Permission to release the weight you were never meant to carry alone.
Who This Is For
This space was created for the woman who's walking through this season with a brave face and a bruised heart.
Feeling Emotionally Heavy
You're carrying weight in this season that others can't see but you feel deeply
Grieving Loss of a Loved One
Whether recently or years ago, the ache is still present
Experiencing Grief Beyond Death
Loss tied to marriage shifts, motherhood transitions, identity changes, or burnout
Feeling Overlooked or Overwhelmed
Emotionally scattered and struggling to find your footing
Carrying Emotional Wounds
That won't stay quiet no matter how hard you try to push them down
Ready to Stop Hiding
And start healing in a space that feels safe, sacred, and judgment-free
This Is for YOU
"I don't feel like myself"
If you've been whispering this... this is for you.
"No one knows what I'm grieving"
If you've been silently carrying this... this is for you.
"I'm holding it together for everyone else"
If this is your reality... come exhale here.
Want Mental-Health Strategies
Wrapped in faith—clinical excellence meets spiritual grounding

That feels sacred, judgment-free, and authentically welcoming
Ready for Real Healing
Not just surface solutions but deep, transformative freedom

Don't Wait
This intimate gathering has limited space because healing happens best in community, not crowds. When women gather with intention, transformation unfolds.
