Are you struggling to support your grieving children while managing your own grief?
I offer support for widowed parents, helping them guide their children through the grief journey while navigating their own loss
Grief can feel overwhelming – leaving you drained, isolated, and uncertain about how to best help your children while managing your own heartbreak. You long to build a life where love, joy, and cherished memories take centre stage—but right now, that feels far away.
I understand what you’re going through because I’ve walked that same path. Seven years ago, I lost my husband. As a widow and a mother to two daughters who lost their father, I’ve experienced the immense challenge of trying to be there for my children while navigating the day-to-day realities of grief. I know how hard it can be to find clarity, strength, and a sense of hope when life feels so heavy.
When your heart is shattered and your children are grieving too, you don’t have to walk this journey alone. Gentle, compassionate guidance can help you take that first step toward healing – for both you and your children.

“10 Tips to Help Grieving Children”
A simple, actionable guide to help you get started on supporting your children through their grief and emotions.
Why I can help
I’ve been where you are. Seven years ago, my life changed forever when I lost my husband. I became both a widow and a single mother, tasked with raising two daughters who were grieving the loss of their father. I remember feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure how to help my children while facing my own sorrow.
In addition to my personal experience, I hold a master’s degree in psychology and am a certified coach and grief counsellor, which provides me with a deep understanding of the grieving process and the tools to support both parents and children through it. Through my own journey, I discovered the importance of compassionate guidance and practical support for widowed parents. That’s why I became a grief coach—to help widowed mums like you find a way forward. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering empathy, understanding, and tools to rebuild your life with hope and strength.

What My Clients Say
Grief coaching
I highly recommend working with Kirsten as a grief coach.
She creates a warm and supportive environment where there is space to process both positive and difficult emotions while being gently guided through the journey with real-life examples.
The structured approach of her coaching sessions has been incredibly beneficial for me, as it has helped me gain clarity in my relationship with my grief and my role in the healing process.
For me, it has made a significant difference to have Kirsten’s guidance in finding closure with unresolved emotions and situations. Now, I can focus on the good memories, and my emotional healing has taken a big step in the right direction.
Grief recovery
I am incredibly grateful and thankful to have completed the course with Kirsten.
She was an invaluable guide, especially when I faced challenges towards the end of the programme.
I have attended many grief support groups and seen a psychologist since my husband’s passing, but none of these experiences have been as impactful as this course.
The programme was intense – particularly the final sessions, which touched me deeply – but completing it was an absolute success. For that, I want to sincerely thank you – from the bottom of my heart.
Helping children with loss
Taking part in this course has been incredibly insightful and valuable, and Kirsten is an excellent instructor. As a bereaved parent, you desperately want to support your children through their grief, but it can be difficult to know how. This course should be available to all bereaved parents.
