Grieving The Living Programme

Healing loss, rebuilding self-worth, and finding hope.

 

Some losses don’t come with funerals.

 

Some people are still alive, but the relationship you knew is gone.

 

Grieving the living is a form of loss that is often unseen and misunderstood. This program exists to give that grief a voice, a space, and support.

 

Why This Program Exists

I grew up in foster care. The people who became my mum and dad were taken from my life when I was ten years old.

 

That loss didn’t just take people from me; it shaped how I saw myself. I grew up struggling with abandonment, low self-worth, people-pleasing, and the belief that I was never enough.

 

As an adult, I shared my story through a book about my childhood trauma. But I learned that understanding trauma is not the same as healing it. People need support to rebuild, to fill the void, and to regain a sense of worth.

 

That is why I created this program.

 

Who It’s For

This program is for anyone grieving someone who is still alive, including:

 

  • Estranged parents or family members.
  • Loved ones affected by illness or dementia.
  • Sudden loss of a relationship without closure.

 

If you have ever felt abandoned, invisible, or alone in your grief, this space is for you.

 

What the Program Supports

  •  Processing grief for the living.
  •  Healing abandonment wounds.
  •  Rebuilding self-worth and confidence.
  •  Letting go of people-pleasing and survival patterns.
  •  Learning that you are enough.

 

Why It’s Free

Healing should not be a privilege.

This program will be free so that support is accessible to those who need it most, made possible through charitable funding, and hopefully, we will be running this program back-to-back to avoid unwanted waiting lists.
