She’s the founder of the Mindfulness & Grief Institute, where she facilitates Awaken, a mindfulness-based online group, and hosts the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast.

A frequently asked question for Heather from people working with people who are grieving at seminars is
What do we do when someone just seems like they don’t want to let go? #1 they’re not going to let go, it’s going to transform, it changes, it expands to where you can remember the joy and the love, you still miss them like heck…
In this episode we talked about:
- Grief after her uncle died by suicide.
- Guilt after a loved one dies.
- What are the perceptions on the stages of grief, and how can people cope with grief when they have experienced losses in both their personal and professional life?
- Are mindfulness and meditation the same thing?
- How does mindfulness help with grief?
- Body image and self-care.
- Making your body an ally on your grief journey.
