Right Now, It Feels Like Life Stopped With Him…
The world keeps moving, but you’re stuck. People say you’re “so strong,” but they don’t see the exhaustion, the guilt, the loneliness. They don’t understand how grief changes everything—how even the smallest decisions feel impossible.
You miss him. You miss who you were with him. And deep down, you wonder… Who am I now?
Maybe you’ve tried to “move on,” but the idea feels like a betrayal. Maybe you’ve been keeping busy, hoping time will heal, but the ache is still there.
The truth is, you don’t want just to exist. You want to feel alive again—without guilt, without fear, and without the pressure of “getting over it.”
You Deserve a Life That Feels Like Yours Again
You can honor his memory while still stepping into your next chapter. And you don’t have to do it alone.
At Soulful Journeys, I help widows like you:
✅ Overcome the guilt of moving forward
✅ Replace the intensity of grief with a sense of peace
✅ Discover who you are outside of your loss
✅ Create a life that brings joy, purpose, and connection again
This isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about moving forward—with love, with intention, and with the confidence that your best days aren’t behind you.
Please hear me out....
You see, I am a widow too.
My husband Alex died unexpectedly in October 2019. Like you, I couldn't help but feel punished and hopeless about having a future without him. I felt overwhelmed navigating as a solo parent to 2 young teenagers and how horrible it felt that they were robbed of their father in their young lives as well. Aside from trying to doing my best to be present for our children, I did not know myself anymore. I was no longer a wife. I no longer had my best friend. My identity was simply lost. It was as if someone turned out the lights on my life. I was overwhelmed with navigating the pieces that my husband played as our fun person, rock, breadwinner, financial & project manager in our home, and being our protector in so many ways. I harbored anger and disappointment from him leaving us, leaving me, and I blamed God for making this our life now. I eventually felt that this pity party had to stop for me.
I asked my 12-year old child, one day on how he was doing with regards to managing his grief and while he replied, "fine," I inquired further, "but how do you do it?" Conner answered, "well Dad had to do it. I mean, he lost his own dad and he had to keep going." (Alex's father died unexpectedly and possibly by the same cause when Alex was in his early-20's).
I feel that this conversation with my sweet boy sent off a flare gun signaling that I need to focus on my grief and inner healing to help them with theirs. I, too, had to keep going, just like he said. You see, I felt like my children were going to be broken for the rest of their lives because of this trauma. I was destined at that point forward to explore and implement a means to heal our grief, collectively. I was in awe with my child's perseverance to pursue a life that can be mended, driven, and abundant despite his father's absence.
My healing journey took on many trials and tribulations from a holistic standpoint which focused on mind, body, and soul work. I applied intuitive work and energy work as well as offering ways to help others in their own grief journey.
That said, I am providing tangible, practical tools to support widows—not just the conventional advice to "give it time," but real, actionable steps to help you heal, rediscover yourself, and build a life you truly love.
As a fellow widow puts it, "we can get either busy living or get busy dying."

Sounds amazing right?
Well, my fellow widow, this is capable through my coaching.
I have done the work to experience to rediscover who I am and I want to share those tools with you! Let's trim the fat and get to seeing the results in your healing journey~
Look, just like you, I've been there navigating the unstable waters of grief:
I have felt lost, overwhelmed, broken, angry, lonely, depressed, worried, frustrated, confused...
And I felt like this weight would last forever and that I would have to accept this as my life now...
But I also felt deep down that there has to be more to this life than feeling the pain on the daily. I had to see that my purpose is beyond just existing.
