Be a Confident Certified Grief Coach and Help Transform Someone’s Life Today
How does one move forward in their grief and pain after the life-altering experience of deep loss?
How does one move forward in their grief and pain after the life-altering experience of deep loss?
Are you interested in expanding your confidence and up-leveling your skills to help people who are struggling after loss to find peace, purpose and even joy within their grief?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions….
Then you most likely “get it”,
You understand the challenges and the work it takes for someone who is grieving deeply to move forward within their grief.
Grief is not something we really like to talk about but the reality is – we are all going to experience a deep loss in our lives at one time or another.
In fact…
Yet despite grief being a common experience among all of us – it remains one of life’s biggest challenges…
Grief and grieving can still be deeply misunderstood—especially in societies where grief is not allowed the time to be given its due process.
And while we know we can’t avoid the trauma that comes with it, we know that providing access to compassionate experts and sharing proven strategies to process grief can help individuals, families and communities find healing within their grief.
Unfortunately, there can be an ENORMOUS GAP between wanting to support individuals and families who are grieving after a deep loss
AND
knowing how to provide support through proven methods that can create positive change in a griever’s emotional and physical well-being…
Failed grief is something I’ve witnessed in my own life.
I used to live in a home where my deceased brother’s memory was never spoken of or acknowledged…
…and it ultimately led to a home that was oftentimes shrouded in an air of unspoken sadness, anger, worry and feelings of abandonment – but no one recognized that this was buried grief that had never been given the time or attention to help my parents find some healing in their deep grief.
I venture a guess that this may have been your experience and I know for a fact that it has been the case for the majority of my clients.
There is a lot more grief and silent suffering in this world that is left unacknowledged and unaddressed and if we don’t do something about this now, we deprive many families of the chance to live with peace, purpose and happiness.
I believe you are here because you have the heart, passion and willingness to help families move from simply surviving to actually thriving in their lives.
That’s why I want to offer you a proven coaching model that will not only fully equip you to become a certified grief coach…
But also help you gain complete CONFIDENCE in supporting those who are grieving.
The Vision of the International Academy for Grief (IAFG) and the Confident Grief Coach School is to provide accessible and transformative healing for grieving families throughout the world.

“A light in the darkness.
Pat Sheveland‘s Confident Grief Coach and B.R.E.A.T.H.E Facilitator Certification program came into my life during a “dark night of the soul”, a time of deep loss and need to reinvent my life. Having worked for many years with grieving families, I knew the territory of the program. However, I was blown away by how much thought, heart, and intention are woven into this program. Guided by insightful and profound tools and practices, within a brilliantly designed process, Pat’s program proves it’s possible to find peace and beauty within the experience of grief and loss.
Pat has created a truly unique and transformative grief coaching program, unlike any other I found. As a professional, I feel equipped with first-class training to be a Certified Grief Coach and B.R.E.A.T.H.E Program Facilitator.

Wherever you are on your journey, Pat has the skills, experience, and capacity to guide you to become a Confident Grief Coach; and she offers unwavering support and encouragement each step of the way.
