Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed one moment…
and then numb and shut down the next?
I remember how confusing, and even frightening that felt. Never knowing how I would feel or react.
It was especially disorienting as a psychotherapist, because I understood grief intellectually.
But at the time I didn’t understand what was happening in my body and nervous system.
And when I began to understand that,
and learned how to support my body as I processed my emotions, something important began to shift.
I’m hosting a free live workshop this Saturday May 9th at 11 AM ET, where I’ll share some of the body-based practices the have been most helpful for me and the people I work with who are navigating life after partner loss and early widowhood.
If this resonates, comment “LINK” and I’ll send you the registration link,
or send me a DM if you have any questions or would just like to connect.
With love, Eva 🤍

One of the most isolating parts of grief
is not feeling understood.
I remember how confusing everything felt…
how what I had learned about grief as a psychotherapist and social worker,
and how so much the support I found,
didn’t match what I was experiencing inside.
“Holding Grief With Love”
has been shaped by my own experience,
both personal and professional,
and by those I’ve had the privilege to work with.
Before I share it more widely,
I’m hoping to connect with a few people in the early years of widowhood to make sure it truly reflects
the full range of this experience and meets your unique needs.
If you would be open to sharing a bit about your personal experience, I would be honoured to connect 🤍

Grief was never meant to be carried alone.
And yet… so many of us find ourselves doing exactly that.
Carrying the love
the memories
the pain
and trying to make sense of it all.
Embers & Ink was created as a space to return to something we’ve lost,
being held in grief, in community, in nature.
“Embers” reflects the love and connection that continue to glow.
“Ink” offers a way to honour, process, and express, through writing and reflection.
A weekend to slow down,
to honour your loss and the love that continues,
and to be supported,
by nature, by others who understand,
and by experienced guides.
If this speaks to something in you…
we would be honoured for you to join us 🤍
With love,
Eva & Lisa

There are so many layers to loss…
The loss of your person.
The loss of the life you were building… and the future you imagined.
And the losses that come with the decisions you have to make just to survive.
I hadn’t realized how much this still affected me…
until a few months ago.
I saw a dog that looked like Beans.
My first response was joy.
I told the couple,
“we used to have a dog just like yours.”
Then I burst into tears as I walked away.
Why do I share this now?
Because so often, the things we feel ashamed of…
we carry in silence, in the shadows.
And in sharing…
in allowing some space for compassion and forgiveness…
we can begin to process and integrate.
If any part of this resonates,
and you feel called to share your own experience,
I would be honoured to hear from you.
Healing happens in connection.
Sending love to you today 🤍

No one really talks about this part of life after partner loss…
When something new begins to feel possible…
and instead of excitement,
you feel fear.
Guilt.
A panicked urge to pull away.
This is fresh for me,
still a bit raw and vulnerable.
But these questions have come up recently in conversations with other widows so I wanted to share.
How do we trust what we’re feeling?
Is it self-protection?
Self-sabotage?
Not the right person?
Or not being ready?
How can I love again…
while still being in love with someone
I can no longer hold?
A mentor once shared with me that new love as a widow is like loving a second child.
It doesn’t diminish the love of the first.
Love is infinite.
And still…
the fears linger.
The confusion.
The questions without answers.
Just a heart learning how to love with love and loss.
Does any of this resonate? Sending love to you 🤍
When the grief waves hit,
it can feel like you’re going to be swept away.
One moment you’re okay…
and the next,
you’re under.
Not knowing which way is up.
Feeling like you can’t catch your breath.
With body-based practices & awareness,
I began to recognize when the waves were coming…
the way a surfer learns to read the water.
And I learned how to anchor myself.
My breath.
My feet on the ground.
Noticing the space around me.
They seem so simple…
but in those moments,
they can offer just enough steadiness,
to find the ground beneath you.
These are some of the practices I’ve included
in my free Partner Loss Journal…
If you’d like a copy,
you can DM or comment: “JOURNAL” 🤍
And I’d love to hear…
what has helped you?
We’re not taught how to be with sorrow.
So we try to fix it…
avoid it…
or carry it alone.
But grief isn’t a problem to be solved.
It’s not something to push through or get over.
It’s a deep encounter
with what it means to be human.
I came across this poem by Denise Levertov in the book “The Wild Edge of Sorrow:
Rituals of Renewal & the Sacred Work of Grief
Francis Weller speaks about grief as an apprenticeship with sorrow…
… “Learning we can be with our grief…
is the first task of our apprenticeship”.
She writes about the importance of expressing our sorrows and stories of loss,
and of developing practices that deepen our capacity to hold the emotions without being overwhelmed
🤍 I would love to hear how this resonates with you.
What has helped you “speak of sorrow”?
What has helped you “be with” your grief?

When it all feels like too much to hold,
I hope this journal can offer you
even just a little support,
to care for yourself inside your grief,
to find a little space to breathe,
to honour your feelings.

It’s not always the big moments that break you.
It’s the everyday ones.
The ones you can’t prepare for.
The reminders of the little details of the life that lived between you.
In the first few years, those were the waves that knocked me over.
Over these past twelve years, they’ve shifted.
They feel a little softer now…
like a wink or a whisper from Drew.
His presence woven into the everyday.
🤍Sending love to all of you who know this feeling,
the ache,
the absence,
and the love woven into the memories

Grief changes everything.
Not just how you feel, but how you move through your days, how your body functions, your relationships, your sense of who you are.
If you’ve lost someone you love.
If you’re grieving a job, your health, a relationship, or a future that didn’t happen.
If you feel like you’re “holding it together” on the outside while inside you just want to scream and fall apart…
You don’t have to do this alone.
I offer compassionate, nervous-system-informed grief coaching for people learning how to live in the “this isn’t how it was supposed to be”.
Not to “fix” your grief or make you “move on,” but to help you feel more supported, resourced, and less alone as you carry it.
✨ My website is going live tomorrow with more details about how I work, who this is for, and how to book a free connection call. Or feel free to DM me if you’re wondering if this might be a fit for you or someone you care about.
