A Clear Path Forward, Starting Where You Are
How the Soar Beyond Grief Model™ works
My work is guided by the Soar Beyond Grief Model™, a three-level framework I developed to support widows and widowers at different points in their life after loss. Rather than a single program or one starting point, this model offers three distinct levels — The Nest, Rising, and Soaring — each designed for a different place on the journey.
Every level has its own focus, approach, and ways to work together. You don’t need to start at the beginning or fit yourself into a specific box. You begin with the level that reflects where you are right now, and over time, you can naturally move through the levels as your life unfolds. This page is here to give you a simple overview of those levels, so you can recognize yourself and explore what feels like the right next step.
A supportive path, wherever you are right now
After loss, people often find themselves in different places. Some are just trying to get through the days. Some are beginning to feel a little steadier. Some are ready to create more life, meaning, and joy again.
There’s no right place to be. There’s just where you are.
My work is designed to meet you there. I’ve created a gentle, heart-led approach that supports widows and widowers through life after loss – from having a safe place to land, to rising into yourself again, to living fully and expansively.
Below, you’ll see three places many people recognize themselves. Take a moment to read through them and notice which one feels like you right now.
Level 1 – The Nest
A place to land
This is for you if life feels heavy, overwhelming, or unfamiliar, and you’re needing comfort, safety, and gentle support. The Nest is a place to pause, breathe, and rest. It’s a place to feel held, find comfort, and experience moments of relief when things feel like more than you can handle. There’s no pressure to figure anything out. You’re supported in simply being where you are, allowing what you’re feeling, and letting life feel a little lighter, one moment at a time. → Explore The Nest
Level 2 – Rising
Beginning to look ahead
This is for you if life still feels hard and uncertain, but you’re beginning to feel ready to look ahead instead of only getting through the day. You may not know exactly what you want yet, but you’re starting to ask new questions about who you are now and what you want your life to become. Rising is about finding hope and possibility again, taking gentle steps forward, and having support as you explore what’s next without needing to have it all f igured out. → Explore Rising
Level 3 – Soaring
Creating what’s next
This is for you if you feel ready to actively create what’s next in your life and want to focus on what’s possible now, not just what you’ve been through. You have a stronger sense of who you are becoming, what matters to you, and the kind of life you want to build moving forward. Soaring is about choosing how you want to live, creating a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling to you, and letting grief take its place as part of your story, not the center of it. → Explore Soaring
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.
