The Workshop​


If you’ve ever laughed through tears and wondered if it made you disloyal, or felt guilty for reaching for small moments of joy, you’re not alone. Grief is full of contradictions. And too often, the stories we’re told about what it “should” look like only make the pain heavier.


In this live workshop, you’ll discover how:​

  • Guilt sneaks in when joy returns — and how to recognise it as a reflex, not a betrayal of your person.
  • Your brain is wired for duality — why it’s natural to feel both sorrow and joy at once, and how to begin trusting that there’s room for both.
  • Inherited stories shape your grieving process — like “time heals all wounds” or “moving forward means forgetting” — and how to question them with compassion.
  • Gentle reframes create breathing room — inviting more hopeful narratives that honour your love and your becoming.

Why This Matters

The truth is: grief will always be part of you. But it doesn’t have to define who you are.

By exploring the hidden narratives you’ve absorbed about loss, this workshop will help you loosen their grip — and create space for both the ache you carry and the life that still waits for you.

What You’ll Leave With​

  • Relief in knowing you’re not broken — your grief makes sense (even when it feels messy).
  • Tools to soften the guilt that cloud your joy — and permission to let them live side by side.
  • A softer way of meeting yourself — so your days feel less like survival, and more like something you can inhabit.
  • A glimpse of what rebuilding might look like — where hope, meaning and purpose can exist alongside your grief.
