The right sibling grief support can quite literally change everything.
 


But honestly? You have a million other things demanding your attention after losing your sibling, and learning to navigate grief isn't even possible when you're barely surviving.

You don't need to become a grief expert or figure this out alone.
I've already done that work - so you can focus on what matters most:
honoring your sibling,tending to your heart, and creating a gentler life alongside your grief.

Hi, I'm Gretchen

and as a fellow sibling griever and grief coach I'm here to give you the support  you need.

After losing my brother Jake to suicide in May 2019 and my sister and nieces to a car accident in July 2019 I felt the deep and lasting impact of sibling loss and traumatic grief....

CLARICE YOUNG

After a bad experience with therapy I knew I needed to try something new but I wasn't sure what. Luckily I found Gretchen, and it was like finally I found someone who really got it. Finally I can be honesty about how much this sucks, and really learn how to survive this. 

If you are struggling reach out to Gretchen. You won't regret it.

Learn Why Sibling Grief Is Different

My Approach

Validation for Sibling Grief

I create spaces where sibling grief is centered rather than sidelined, honoring the complexity of this overlooked form of loss.

Softness not Resilience

Instead of pushing toward growth after loss, I guide you toward creating a gentler life that honors both your grief and your desire to live meaningfully.

Practical (and Honest) Help

I provide sibling-specific tools for rebuilding identity, managing expectations, and maintaining bonds with your siblings beyond death.
And as a fellow sibling griever I offer genuine understanding without pretending to have all the answers.

Supportive Connection

I create communities where sibling grievers can be fully seen and heard—because nothing helps sibling grief like connecting with others who truly understand.
