The Nest
A Place To Land
When everything feelsl like too much
When you need somewhere to rest
When life feels heavy, overwhelming, or unfamiliar, you don’t need answers. You need a place to land. The Nest is the first level of the Soar Beyond Grief Model™. It’s designed for widows and widowers who are in the early stages of life after loss and need comfort, safety, and gentle support. This is not a place to push forward or figure out what’s next. It’s a place to pause, breathe, and rest.
You might be in The Nest if…
-
- Everything feels like too much, even simple decisions or daily tasks
- You’re exhausted from holding it together or getting through the day
- Your emotions feel intense or unpredictable, or you feel numb and heavy
- You feel off balance and disoriented, like you’ve lost your sense of footing
- What you need most is comfort, safety, and a little bit of relief
- Thinking about the future feels overwhelming or out of reach right now
- You need support that feels calm, gentle, and understanding
If this feels like you, The Nest is exactly where you belong right now.
Level 1 – The Nest
The Nest is about comfort, care, and grounding.
It’s a place where you’re supported in catching your breath and beginning to feel a little more settled.
Here, the focus is on:
-
- feeling held and supported
- allowing what you’re feeling, without pressure to change it
- finding moments of relief and ease
- creating a sense of safety in your body and your life again
Nothing here is forced or overwhelming.
Instead, you’re given the space and support that allows things to ease, settle, and slowly begin to shift.
You’re supported exactly as you are, one moment at a time.
How I support you in The Nest
Support at this level is gentle, calming, and guided at a pace that feels manageable.
Together, we focus on:
-
- creating emotional safety
- soothing your body and emotions to feel more settled
- allowing grief to be present without becoming overwhelming
- reconnecting with small moments of calm or comfort
- helping life feel a little lighter, even in brief moments
This stage is about care, not pressure.

I was somewhat lost when I joined Annette’s program. I discovered that your life does not have to end when you lose your significant other. They would want for us to go out and find our life of joy again. We have our lives to live still. Annette has changed my way of thinking. I create what I want my life to be and I’m the happiest I have been in a long time. Annette is my angel among us.
Wherever you are is enough
Wherever you are is enough
There’s no timeline here.
No expectations.
No “shoulds.”
The Nest exists so you don’t have to carry everything alone.
If this feels like where you are right now, you’re welcome here.
As your life continues to expand
The Soar Beyond Grief Model™ is designed as a path you move through over t ime.
Each level has its own focus and support.
As people complete a level, they often feel ready to step into the next level and continue building their life from there.
The work is designed to move forward with you, not keep you stuck in one place.
Even in Soaring, support doesn’t stop.
As your life, desires, and sense of direction continue to evolve, there are ways to stay supported and guided through what comes next.
This work is here to walk with you as your life continues to unfold and grow.
Wherever you are, you don’t have to navigate this alone
You’re invited to start with the level that fits where you are right now.
And if you’re unsure which level that is, that’s okay too. I’d love to talk with you and help you understand where you are on your journey and what kind of support would feel most helpful right now.
