**Help Shape 2026 Programming**

I’m gathering community input to guide death and grief focused programming for 2026.

If you’re open to sharing, what would you like more conversation, education, or support around?

Example of some topics:
• Grief that isn’t tied to death
• Sudden or traumatic loss
• Caregiving and anticipatory grief
• Workplace grief and bereavement
• End of life planning and decision making
• How grief shows up in the body
• Parenting while grieving
• Being “the strong one”
• Navigating grief years later

Comment below or message me privately.
This work is better when it’s shaped together.

💙💗 October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage.
Every year in the U.S., about 21,000 babies are stillborn.
Nearly 19,000 infants die before their first birthday.

These aren’t just numbers, they are beloved children, grieving parents, and families carrying stories often left unspoken.

Today, we break the silence.
We speak their names. We honor their lives. We hold space for those navigating unimaginable grief.

Let’s talk about pregnancy loss, infant death, and stillbirth; because no one should carry this alone.

Today is Overdose Awareness Day.
For many of us, grief didn’t start with the loss, it started with the fear. With every relapse. With every close call. With every moment we saw someone we love fighting to survive.

Substance use disorder is not a moral failing.
It is not “bad choices.”
It is not something shame should define.

Grief, like love, is complex. And those grieving someone living with or lost to SUD deserve safe spaces to mourn without judgment.

Let today be a reminder:
💜 Every story matters.
💜 Every life holds value.
💜 Harm reduction saves lives.
💜 Compassion, not stigma, is how we heal.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🌈

Today, we pause to honor and remember the beloved pets who left pawprints on our hearts.

Created by Deborah Barnes in 2013, this day reminds us that love never truly fades—it just takes on a different form.

Drop your pet’s name, a photo, or a favorite memory below so we can remember them together. I’d love to help celebrate their beautiful life.

Step one: getting honest. My nervous system isn’t just stressed, it has been running a marathon for years. Naming it and admitting it was survival, not living, is where my healing starts.

It’s Mortality Monday. Because nothing says “start your week” like talking about death, dying, grief, and all the stuff no one wants to talk about.
Take a minute. Literally. It’s just 60 seconds or just over...

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
Starting June 9, we’re launching weekly themed content to guide, ground, and grow with you through life’s biggest transitions.

Mortality Mondays
Grief, legacy, end-of-life care, and the power of living fully.

After years of walking alongside individuals, families, and organizations through life’s most profound transitions, I’m proud to share the next chapter of my professional journey:

Shantell Riley Consulting
Where life, loss, and healing evolve.

This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s an evolution of the work I’ve always done—grief care, end-of-life support, trauma-informed training, wholistic wellbeing, workplace wellness, and healing-centered community work—now rooted under one name, one mission.

Through this new platform, I will be offering:
Workshops, classes, & trainings
Grief-informed consulting
Wellness programs & end-of-life education
Organizational culture care

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this path. Your trust and collaboration have shaped this moment.
