Hi love.

I’m so sorry for your loss but I’m glad that you’ve found your way here.

Early grief. It’s a time unlike any other. When the normal rules of life just don’t apply.

I remember when my partner Brian first died, I couldn’t even breathe. I was cracked open, guts spilled out on the floor, and it felt like everyone was watching. But also, like they were purposefully looking away.

I was lonely but all I wanted was to be alone.

I felt like my loss was the only loss that had ever existed.

I couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, couldn’t read, couldn’t think.

I wanted to scream at everyone.

I remember walking down the street and not understanding how it was possible that the world was still turning. How people were still walking around, unaware that my life was forever altered.

I felt like I couldn’t even get to the next moment, let alone the next day.

I had lost everything. I didn’t even know who I was. I wasn’t even sure if the experiences I had with him were real, because he was no longer here to remember them with me.

My body was in complete shock. I couldn’t do any of the things I had previously done to help myself feel better.

I’m here to tell you that if you feel like this too, you are not alone. And you will not feel this way forever.

There is nothing wrong with you.

This is traumatic grief.

It is devastating.

And yes, unfortunately, people who haven’t been through it just don’t understand.

But I do.

And it’s not just me, there are so many of us.

I promise.

This hurts this much because grief is a mirror reflection of the love that we have.

And I’ll tell you a secret, this love will never go away. It is yours to hold, for all of eternity.

My name is Mira.

At the end of 2018, my partner Brian started feeling sick. In March of 2019, he died of an extremely aggressive cancer. I was thirty-four-years-old and suddenly a solo mom to our almost three-year-old daughter.

Initially, I didn’t know where to turn. I didn’t know who to talk to. No one I knew had been through anything even remotely like this. I was in shock and utter despair. My heart was broken and everyone around me was just as lost as I was.

THE NEXT BREATH

Your Survival Kit for Early Grief

I created this simple, gentle, pre-recorded 60-minute mini-course + bonus somatic lesson for you, the new griever. It is a safe space for you to land during this unbearable time. Here you’ll find clear strategies and ideas for ways to get through the raw, tender days of your grief journey from someone who has been where you are now. Watch and re-watch at your own pace. When you purchase this course, you’ll also have access to the accompanying handouts and worksheets.

This program is open to grievers who have experienced any type of loss.

And love, by "early" grief, I mean that particular window of time when shock surrounds you. When your grief feels raw + fresh. And when the waves roll in relentlessly. The specific length of time will be different for all of us. 

Here is a list of some of the topics that will be covered in this course and what you will come away from it with:

- A clear understanding of what is perfectly normal in early grief, from someone who has been there too

- Simple & effective tips and strategies for surviving this wild time within the larger context of your grief process

- Gentle ideas for how to process your grief during this tender chapter of your grief journey

- Specific & concrete somatic practices that you can start practicing today, to help communicate to your body that it is safe

- What I wish I had known back when I was in early grief

 

What is Included?

- One 60-minute pre-recorded course video, which you can watch and re-watch at your own pace as many times as you wish

- One 15-minute video teaching you some simple somatic practices to support your body through your early grief process

- Downloadable accompanying handouts and worksheets

- You will have access to the course for as long as I’m running New Moon Mira and can return to it whenever you like (many of the strategies taught within this course will be helpful during future grief waves as well, as time goes on)
