Some days, the missing feels sharp and close. On those days, let love be the thing you reach forโ€”especially toward yourself. Treat yourself with the same tenderness they showed you. That love still belongs to you, and it still matters.

If grief feels heavy, call me. Iโ€™m here to listen and walk with you gently through it. XOXO.

Sudden and unexpected loss has a way of filling every corner of life with that kind of absence. When a death comes without warning, especially when it feels like it could have been prevented, grief can feel all-encompassing. There is no time to prepare, no goodbye, and the world can suddenly feel unfamiliar and unsafe. Their absence stretches into ordinary moments, into plans that will never unfold, into a future that now looks different.

Today, we hold space for those living under that wide sky of grief. We pray for the family and friends of Renee Nicole Good, and for everyone carrying the shock, sorrow, and unanswered questions that follow a sudden loss.

If this kind of grief feels heavy or isolating, you donโ€™t have to hold it alone. Call me! Iโ€™m here to listen, to support, and to walk with you gently through what comes next. XOXO.

A few years ago, I encouraged my friends to donate blood through the Red Cross, knowing it was importantโ€”but I didnโ€™t yet fully grasp just how powerful that simple act could be.

As an end-of-life doula, I now see the value of blood donation even more clearly. I witness how precious time is, how every extra moment matters, and how a single donation can mean more time, more goodbyes, more love, more life. Blood donation is one of the most direct and human ways to care for one anotherโ€”often anonymously and always selflessly.

If this post encourages you to donate, please consider visiting your nearest Red Cross.

And if you or someone you love is navigating serious illness, caregiving, or end-of-life questions, call me. Iโ€™m here for you. XOXO.

As a new year begins, many of us carry both hope and heartache into January. If youโ€™re entering the New Year without someone you love, know this: you donโ€™t have to leave them behind to move forward. Love doesnโ€™t end when the calendar changes.

You might carry them with you by dedicating a small space in your home in their memory, cooking their favorite meal, supporting a cause they cared about, or sharing their storiesโ€”online or in personโ€”so their laughter and lessons continue to live on.

However this year unfolds, may it hold moments of gentleness, connection, and meaning. Wishing you a sincere and warm Happy New Year.

In this season of giving, Iโ€™ve been reflecting on what a profound gift life truly is. Every sunrise, every shared meal, every laugh, every lesson, every ordinary momentโ€”we receive far more than we realize. And yet, in that same reflection, itโ€™s important to remember that death is not the enemy.

The finite nature of our existence adds color to our experiences, depth to our relationships, and urgency to our dreams. Knowing that life is limited doesnโ€™t diminish itโ€”it sharpens it. It encourages us to love more boldly, speak more honestly, create more freely, and show up more fully for ourselves and the people we love. Death is not just an end; itโ€™s a quiet motivator, a reminder to live with intention, gratitude, and heart.

If youโ€™re navigating questions about life, loss, or legacy this season, call me. Iโ€™m here for you. XOXO.

During the holidays, when tables are full and traditions run deep, grief can feel especially heavy. Bringing a thoughtful meal to someone who is grieving is a quiet way of saying, You are not forgotten. A warm soup, a simple casserole, fresh bread, or even a familiar holiday comfort dish can offer nourishment in both body and heart during a season that can feel tender and overwhelming.

If you or someone you love is walking through grief this holiday season, call me. Iโ€™m here with warmth, guidance, and compassionate support. XOXO.

๐Ÿ’Œ A Gentle Permission Slip by Yasemin Isler
You are allowed to not celebrate.
You are allowed to feel joy, guilt, sadness, or nothing at all.
You are allowed to take the day minute by minute.
You are allowed to change your mind.
You are allowed to just be.

The holidays can feel especially tender when youโ€™re grieving. Traditions shift, emotions come in waves, and even the smallest moments can remind you of the one you miss. Whatever youโ€™re feeling this season is valid. Give yourself permission to move gently, honor your needs, and let the day unfold in the way that feels kindest to your heart.

If this holiday season feels heavy or you need support navigating grief, call me. Iโ€™m here for you. XOXO.

This season always makes me think of my Dadโ€”his big appetite for turkey dinner, the way heโ€™d go back for seconds (and thirds!), and his laughter that could fill a whole room. Holidays have a tender way of bringing back the people we wish we could sit beside just one more time.

So this Thanksgiving, this simple, non-religious prayer is for anyone carrying love and loss in the same heart:

Aluaโ€™s words invite us to look gentlyโ€”but honestlyโ€”at our mortality. When we face death, life comes into focus: what matters gets louder, and what doesnโ€™t begins to fall away. Thinking about the end clarifies the middleโ€”so we speak love out loud, mend what can be mended, savor ordinary moments, and choose meaning over busyness. Planning for death isnโ€™t morbid; itโ€™s an act of love for ourselves and for the people who will carry our stories forward.

If you feel called to reflect, call me. Together we can explore your values, wishes, legacy, and the practical choices that shape a meaningful life, so that one day your story is met with applause for the way you lived with purpose and love. XOXO.

As autumn leans into winter, the days grow shorter, the air turns colder, and darkness arrives earlier than our hearts are ready for. Many of us feel the winter blues settling inโ€”more tired, a little foggy, not quite ourselves. Grief often slips in with the early dusk, too: memories feel closer, empty chairs feel louder, and sadness can surprise us at the end of the day.

If this is you, youโ€™re not aloneโ€”and nothing is โ€œwrongโ€ with you. Try a few tender anchors: morning light on your face, a warm drink between your hands, a short walk, a familiar song, a small ritual of remembrance for the one you miss. Let yourself feel what you feel, and let others help you hold it.

If the weight of winter or grief feels heavy, call me. Iโ€™m here with warmth, guidance, and compassionate support. XOXO.

Weโ€™ve all been caregivers at some pointโ€”caring for a spouse after surgery, an aging parent, or a child who needs a little extra support. Iโ€™ve been there too, and I know how deeply love and responsibility can intertwine. Then there are those who go above and beyond, showing up day after day to care for an older adult or a child with health needsโ€”often full-time, often quietly, and always with so much heart.

This National Family Caregivers Month, we honor the 63+ million family caregivers across the U.S. who give billions of hours of unpaid care while juggling work, family, and their own well-being. Their love is steady, their strength remarkable.

If you find yourself with the chance to care for someone you love, embrace itโ€”itโ€™s a meaningful role that can enrich both your lives in ways youโ€™ll never forget. And if the journey ever feels heavy or overwhelming, call me. Iโ€™m here for you. XOXO.

My Why

While I stood at the bedside of my 32 year old niece, staring at the monitors that were keeping her alive, I got this unexplainable calm that came over me. I felt so present, so mindful, so in tune to her and her still body. Her friends and our family had all gathered to be with her. She was dying. Then it happened, her heart stopped and time stood still. I was still, we all were still, fully aware that she had just passed.

It is this experience and a couple more just like it that helped me realize what I am supposed to do with my life. And that is to be with those that are terminally ill and their loved ones during this rich intimate time in oneโ€™s life. Itโ€™s all about being fully present, finding out what they need, offering an ear or caressing a hand. Itโ€™s also about being there for the loved one, the care giver and offering support in ways that will help bring peace of mind. I feel like this work is a culmination of all of my lifeโ€™s work. I received my MA in Spiritual Psychology, worked as an American Sign Language Interpreter for the deaf for over 30 years and for the past 7 years worked as a Life Coach with our company A Better You, Inc.. I had never heard of an End of Life Doula. I researched it and got certified from what I believe to be the best training-- Doulagivers lead by Suzanne Oโ€™Brien Hospice RN. Nothing has ever felt more true to me than to step into this line of work. It is an honor and privilege.
