One-on-One Coaching: Rewriting Your Story After Child Loss
Grief, guilt, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming after the loss of your child to suicide. But you don’t have to carry it alone.Â
"You are not alone — I’ve been where you are." Melissa
Whether you are navigating the storm of early grief or seeking a path forward years later, there are programs designed to meet you where you areÂ
Destination: Me™ for those in the early stages, and Soul Tides™ for those further along.
I’m Melissa, a grieving mother myself, and also a Certified Master Grief Guide and Trauma-Informed Narrative Therapy Coach (not to mention an acclaimed podcaster, multi-published author, and seasoned anthology curator). Through The Leftover Pieces, I offer compassionate one-on-one coaching designed specifically for moms like us — those living the unthinkable and searching for a way to survive it.
This isn’t about “moving on” or finding a quick fix. This is about finding a way to honor your grief and build a path forward with grace and strength.
Please consider joining me for one of my proprietary one-on-one coaching programs:
Destination: Me™
Rewriting Your Story After Suicide Loss: A Framework for Releasing Guilt & Restoring Your Self-Trust — from The Leftover Pieces™
Soul Tides™
Rebuilding Your Purpose & Trust: A Journey of Spiritual Integration Beyond the Early Years of Loss


So, what IS this about?
It’s about gently exploring your story, unpacking the pain, and learning to live alongside your loss in a way that honors both your child and your continued life.
We’ll work together every week to:
Release guilt that no longer serves you
Rebuild your self-worth and identity
Create a life that feels meaningful again, even after the unimaginable
You’ll never be “over” the loss of your child — but you can move forward with it, with them, and you deserve support as you do.
Whether you're navigating the early grief stages or seeking spiritual integration and renewed purpose years after your loss, one of these coaching containers are here to guide you every step of the way.
