Grief has a language. Nobody ever taught it to you.
You've done the bloodwork. Tried the supplements. Addressed the hormones. And something still feels heavy in a way no protocol has touched.
Grief 101 is seven short videos on grief in midlife. A few minutes each. Captions on. No homework. Just the words you were never handed.

Welcome to the Grief 101
Pop in your details and Video 1 opens right away. You'll also get the Language of Grief cheat sheet to keep.
Your info is never shared.
You're fluent in pretending. Foreign in grief.
It's not that you're doing it wrong. It's that nobody gave you the map.
You're the one holding it together. Work, the aging-parent logistics, the group chat, the dog's vet appointment. And yet you're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix. Snappy over small things. Teary at commercials. Googling at 2am.
Meanwhile, the internet has 400 opinions. Cut sugar. Try this tea. Just breathe. Lovely. Not helpful.
The heaviness
A weight in your chest that hormones explain only half of.
The fog
Overwhelmed, confused, and not quite sure what you're even feeling.
The "I'm fine"
An award-worthy performance. Every day. Exhausting.
Here's the thing. We live in a grief-illiterate society. There are more than 40 kinds of loss, and death is only one. Divorce. A diagnosis. Retirement. The version of yourself you used to recognize. Even good changes can bring grief.
Nothing is wrong with you. You were just never handed the language.
Seven short videos. One at a time.
Video 1 opens as soon as you sign up. Each one unlocks when you mark the one before complete. Go one a day, one a week, or all seven in a row.

What you'll take with you
It's education, not therapy. And it might be the most relieving few minutes of your week.
Language
A real definition of grief, and words for what's been sitting in your chest.
Context
Why midlife stacks losses on top of each other, and why hormones are only half the picture.
Recognition
The six myths, STERBs, and "I'm fine" as a performance. Most people see themselves in at least one.
Relief
The sense that nothing is wrong with you. You were never handed the language.
A next step
Clarity on what a real process looks like, and a taste of what it's like to work with me.
Hi, I'm Tammy. I'll be your guide.
I'm an ICF Certified Coach (since 2011), an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist, a Certified Grief Educator, and a death doula. I'm also a two-time cancer survivor who once summited Kilimanjaro on my 30th birthday. So I know a thing or two about carrying heavy things uphill.
This series teaches the language behind the Grief Recovery Method, an evidence-based approach that has helped more than 1.5 million people worldwide.
"It was like a cloud hanging over me. The structure gave me a way to process my emotions instead of drowning in them."

Debbie"We are not taught how to grieve. We are barely allowed to. I finally had a chance to truly mourn."
