You Were Never Meant
to Grieve Alone

I spent over a decade caring for my mother through Alzheimer’s. The grief started years before she died. Missed turns. Retold stories. I missed her while she was still here.

I wrote about those years in my memoir, Living Beside the Leaving: A Daughter’s Story of Alzheimer’s, Caregiving, and Loss.

Then came 2024. Four major losses in one year. I went looking for the support I wished I’d had while I was in it. I found MasterGrief™. I trained as a grief coach and founded Grief Clarity Labs.

I work with anticipatory grief, caregiver grief, cumulative grief, and life after loss. I am most drawn to current and former family caregivers, but all are welcome.

My style is steady and direct. I don’t rush you. I ask questions, I listen, and I tell you the truth.

When we work together, we start with where you are right now. You’ll still feel your feelings while we work on finding out who you are outside of your grief. You will always have it, but it doesn’t always have to have you.

Hi, I’m Liv.

For 16 years in the beauty industry, I had a front-row seat to people’s lives. I watched them walk through new beginnings, heartbreaks, marriages, babies, losses, and reinventions. Those years taught me how much people will share when they feel safe and how powerful it can be to simply give someone room to be exactly where they are.

My own world changed when I suddenly lost my Aunt Robbie, one of my biggest cheerleaders, and my childhood friend Natalie to a fentanyl overdose. I learned what it feels like when your world stops while everyone else’s somehow keeps moving. That experience eventually led me to become a certified grief coach through MasterGrief™ Academy.

I’m especially drawn to the losses that leave you trying to figure out who you are now.

If you’ve lost someone you love, I want to know them too, not just how you lost them. I want the funny stories, the quirks, the ordinary moments, and the little things that made them them. I want to know the love behind the loss.

More than anything, I want our conversations to be a place where you can take off the armor, feel deeply seen, and simply be human.

Hi, I’m Whitney.

I have been a Registered Nurse for more than 18 years, with experience working with a wide range of populations and in diverse areas of healthcare, including geriatrics, pediatrics, addiction, rehabilitation, hospice and end-of-life care.

Throughout my nursing career, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate illness, injury, difficult health decisions, end-of-life experiences, and the loss of someone they love. These experiences have taught me that every person’s journey is unique—and that sometimes what we need most is someone who will simply walk beside us.

It wasn’t until my father, Dan, passed away in 2024 that I truly experienced the depth and complexity of grief for myself. His death turned my world upside down. I felt lost, overwhelmed, and uncertain of who I was without him. I desperately wanted the pain to go away. Through my own grief journey and my work with MasterGrief™, I learned that grief does not have to be something we simply endure or overcome. Instead, we can learn to walk alongside our grief—to make space for it, live with it, and carry it with more love than pain.

Pet Loss & Grief

Pets have always been a cornerstone of my life. They offer us unconditional love, companionship, comfort, and a sense of stability that is difficult to put into words.

I have also experienced the heartbreak of losing beloved pets. I understand how profound that loss can be and how difficult it can feel when others may not fully understand the depth of the bond you shared.

Society can view pet loss in many different ways, but when you work with me, I want you to know one thing above all else: your grief is real.

What you are feeling is valid. Your sadness makes sense. The love you shared with your pet mattered, and the loss of that relationship deserves to be honored.

Walking the Grief Journey Together

The loss of my father and the loss of my beloved pets ultimately led me to a new chapter in my life—a new story and a new identity that I embrace wholeheartedly.

Today, I am honored to help others navigate the rocky road we call the grief journey.

I will walk beside you through the rough terrain, helping you weather the stormy days while also making space to recognize and appreciate the moments of light and sunshine along the way.

Sometimes you may need guidance. Sometimes you may simply need someone to listen. And sometimes you may need reassurance that what you are feeling is okay.

Whatever your journey looks like, I want you to know:

You are safe.

You are seen.

You are heard.

And you do not have to walk this journey alone.
