Hi, I am Denise

I am a grief and healing advocate, coach, author, and the voice behind @grief.to.healing, a social media account that has reached millions of hearts, helping thousands of people feel seen and supported in their grief.

After losing my dad unexpectedly while traveling in Africa, I realized how silent and misunderstood grief is in our society. That was the moment I knew I had to do something about it.

My mission is to normalize and demystify grief, to give it a voice, create safe spaces for healing, and help others keep their loved ones’ memory alive while learning to live with loss. I blend my own experience of recovery from trauma and the massive impact of grief with the knowledge I learnt during a certified course to become a grief coach, psychology, and spiritual insight to guide others through loss. So that those grieving feel understood and less alone.

My upcoming book (published in autumn 2025) is a compassionate guide for grieving hearts who are trying to find their way forward. It is not only about surviving loss, because grief can't be fixed, it is about making room for meaning, hope, and light again. It is the book I wish I had in those difficult days. With love, Denise
