What the Grief?! is the heart-work I created after losing my sister, Charlene. Grief reshaped me, and instead of hiding from it, I chose to walk toward it and help others do the same. I provide compassionate support, ritual, education, and community spaces that make room for every part of loss—confusion, silence, memory, anger, love, and renewal. As a death and grief doula, I help people feel held, prepared, and understood as they navigate end-of-life decisions, sudden loss, or the long, quiet seasons after. My mission is to reimagine grief as a shared journey rather than a solitary burden. Through workshops, circles, storytelling, and hands-on support, I create spaces where people can honor their loved ones, honor themselves, and begin to find meaning again.
