Author Debbie Heisler - "Faith in the Middle"

After the devastating loss of my son, I found myself navigating through the depths of grief, grappling with the profound emptiness and pain that accompanies such a tragedy. In the midst of my own healing journey, I realized the invaluable support and guidance I received from those who had walked similar paths. Their empathy, wisdom, and understanding provided me with a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.

Driven by the desire to honor my son's memory and to offer solace to others enduring similar pain, I embarked on a path to become a grief coach. Drawing from my own experiences and the lessons learned along the way, I am dedicated to providing compassionate support and practical tools to individuals navigating their own grief journeys.

My journey as a grief coach is rooted in the belief that no one should have to navigate the complexities of grief alone. Through personalized guidance, empathy, and a deep understanding of the grieving process, I strive to empower others to find healing, hope, and renewed strength in the aftermath of loss. My son's legacy lives on through the meaningful support I offer to those who are grieving, as together, we navigate the turbulent waters of grief towards a place of healing and eventual peace.
