The weight of grief used to feel heavy.
I carried it with me wherever I went.
Tears were neatly tucked into my heart and belly.

In my younger years, I didn’t even know how to grieve.

I remember my mom telling me about a tradition in Azerbaijan, the country where I was born. When a family lost a loved one, they would invite—or sometimes hire—a special mourner. This woman would wail and cry aloud, invoking tears in others, so grief would not be buried but honored together, communally.

Those closest to the loss might mourn for a full year, wearing only black as a visible sign of their sorrow.

What a contrast to today, where we’re given just three days of bereavement leave, with an unspoken expectation that grief should be wrapped up quickly and quietly.

But grief doesn’t work like that.
It needs time.
It needs presence.
It needs to be met with compassion, not avoidance.

🌸 That’s why I created Beyond Grief: A Healing Journey.

This course is for anyone who feels the weight of grief and longs for a gentler way to carry it. Inside, you’ll find:

• Practices to soften the heaviness and open space for tears
• Guidance to move through grief with compassion instead of resistance
• A map to help you navigate grief at your own pace—not society’s timeline
• A reminder that you don’t have to grieve alone

✨ Special Offer: The course is available for $59 (until August 31st).

Grief is not something to “get over.”
It’s something to move with—until, little by little, it transforms into wisdom, lightness, and deeper love.

If you’re carrying loss, I’d be honored to walk with you on this healing journey.

With warmth,
