Mariandra Heunis

Mariandra Heunis My Life took a vicious turn the night my husband was brutally murdered in front of us. I had to LIVE, and make a GOOD life for our 4 little children. Day by day.

I am a mommy, deathcare specialist, Life coach and NLP practitioner. The life I knew and loved was brought to a shocking halt the night my husband was murdered in front of myself and my 3 little girls. I was 8 months pregnant with our fourth child; our son, at the time. What came after this, was a rapid series of life-altering decisions to be made in a short period of 2 weeks... And then to rebuild a new normal. I made the choice to live life fully, despite of what had happened - standing on every promise of hope. Making new memories and growing through the pain, tears, frustration and also the joy and blessings. I am grateful for how far we have come. And we are not done yet. In this tragedy is where I also found my calling. To assist other families in their darkest hour - when a loved one passes away. If I can’t be a light in the dark, I will sit with you in the dark for a moment. Because I understand. I offer personalized funeral services to each and every family. From the first call. With care and compassion. It is a sacred work. Step-by-step. As a value added service I also offer Grief counseling - not only to my clients, but whoever may be in need of such services. I have walked this path. And I have studied grief and trauma - and still do to expand the toolbox of techniques and knowledge ongoing. I am - the most powerful words. What you put after it, defines you. I am - Mariandra Heunis. I am changing, growing and making a difference. Where I am, with what I have. I am not just a widow, single mommy, deathcare specialist. I am so much more. With appearances on Kwela, Ontbytsake and various other alternative media channels - it is a privilege to share our journey AFTER. The beauty after the storm. We are still here.

Some things I've learned in my Grief- and PTSD journey of 9 years:

🌿 Grief never leaves you - you do get used to it. Grief also changes over time, but never disappears. The grief doesn't minimize, but we grow around it.

🌿 Trauma is more sticky - it sticks to dates, smells, sounds and sensations. The body remembers.

🌿 Forgiveness, is not a one-time thing. I have to forgive, and forgive again, and again. Every time I am confronted by the grief, trauma or any negative thoughts relating to the incident. We are dealing with life changing consequences. Forgive again.

🌿 Life is too short to hold onto negativity - that includes things, people and thoughts. I choose what I allow around me. Energy is contagious.

🌿 Perspective is everything. Changing the way I look at things might change the things I look at.

🌿 I am sitting on answered prayers! Yet, it's humanly easy to be worried, scared or complain... Focus on the answered prayers - Gratitude 🙌🏻

🌿 I have fallen into the pit of exhaustion, sadness, procrastination, anxiety and a heavy sadness many times. Even if there is no apparent reason for such feelings at the time. We think that we have to avoid such wobbles or get out of it very quickly. But, I have learned that if I allow the heaviness and sit in it a little, the Light breaks through and it lifts. Allowing myself the "downtime" doesn't mean I'm stuck, it's necessary at times, just as much as I focus on putting things in place for myself to align myself with joy and moving forward.

🌿 Don't look back. Spending time and energy on what happened in the past won't change anything that happened or the outcome - I've learned to only look back to see how far we have come.

🌿 God provides. In everything. Not always when and how we think, but exactly right.

🌿 God's grace is new and enough for every day.

🌿 Every moment is filled with a choice. The choice of my own free will or God's will. My plans vs God's plans...

🌿 Cut the noise of the world. I have learned to go back to basics when I feel overwhelmed. Eat healthy (or try). Exercise (just get moving.) Find joy in the little things and look for beauty wherever you go.

~It's forever a work in progress. I have learned to keep learning and practicing the art of surrender - the fine balance of what to hold onto and what to let go ~ Mariandra 🤍

I am Mariandra Heunis

The life I knew and loved was brought to a shocking halt the night my husband was murdered in front of myself and my 3 little girls. I was 8 months pregnant with our fourth child; our son, at the time. What came after this, is our ‘new normal’. I made the choice to live despite of what had happened, standing on every promise of hope. Day by day. In this tragedy is where I also found my calling. To assist other families in their darkest hour - when a loved one passes away. If I can’t be a light in the dark, I will sit with you for a moment. Because I understand.

I offer personalized funeral services to each and every family. With care and compassion. It is a sacred work. Step-by-step.

I am also focused on inspirational speaking - I share my journey AFTER. The crazy, backwards-forwards path - always moving. It takes perseverance and grit to keep moving when you feel that you really can’t. But, you have that too!

I am - the most powerful words. What you put after it, defines you. I am - Mariandra Heunis. I am changing, growing and making a difference. Where I am, with what I have. I am not just a widow, single mommy, funeral director. I am so much more. But still figuring it all out. And that’s okay. It will be okay!
