How does one move forward in their grief and pain after the life-altering experience of deep loss?
Whether you’re a professional in a helping field or someone who has personally transformed your grief into a meaningful life, you understand the challenges faced by those who are grieving.
If you’re ready to enhance your skills and build your confidence in guiding others towards peace, purpose, and even joy within their grief, you’re in the right place.
Grief is an experience we all face, yet it remains one of life’s greatest challenges. Millions of people each day are grappling with the emotional, physical, and spiritual turmoil that accompanies profound loss.
Unfortunately, many suffer in silence, as society often overlooks the need for open conversations about grief.
Without proper understanding and support, grieving individuals may experience what I call “failed grief”—a state where their pain goes unacknowledged, leading to unresolved sorrow and ongoing struggles.
You’re here because you care.
You want to help individuals and families not just survive, but thrive, even amidst their pain.
You recognize the enormous gap between the desire to support the grieving and knowing how to provide effective, proven strategies for healing.
Imagine being equipped with:
• Compassionate techniques to help clients process their grief.
• Proven coaching methods that foster emotional and physical well-being.
• A supportive community of fellow coaches dedicated to making a difference.
• A coaching model program you can immediately utilize with your clients – no need to figure out how to create a model on your own.
You’ll learn how to support them in transforming their pain into a pathway for growth and resilience by providing the essential support every grieving individual deserves.
With our comprehensive certification program, you’ll gain the tools, experience and confidence necessary to facilitate healing for those navigating their grief journey. You’ll learn how to support them in transforming their pain into a pathway for growth and resilience by providing the essential support every grieving individual deserves.

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.
Together, we can bridge the gap between grief and healing.
Let’s empower families to find peace, purpose, and happiness again.

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.
