take the first steps to healing

"Before the Life After Loss Blueprint, I felt like I was just going through the motions. I thought the first year would be the hardest, but when year two hit, I realized this was permanent. Guilt was the number one feeling I carried, and I became angry at God, angry at myself, and angry at life. I tried therapy and read books, but nothing helped me deal with the fact that Rachel died by suicide. When I joined the Life After Loss Blueprint, I finally found what I had been missing—a safe space where I could take a deep breath, tell the truth, and be met with compassion. The community became a sisterhood, and the modules gave me the tools to face the pain and begin to heal it. Now I feel like a different person than when I started. I can look forward, I have danced and laughed again, and I can be fully present with my living daughter. I don’t just feel the deep pain anymore—I often smile when I think of Rachel. I can breathe again, and that is a gift I didn’t think was possible."

"Before the Life After Loss Blueprint, I was numb, in shock for months. I just felt robotic—dead inside, empty, and exhausted. I always thought it was like an abyss, a deep, dark abyss I would never get out of. Grief groups didn’t help; people just told their story over and over, which didn’t do me any good. When I joined the program, I found a safe place—authentic, full of compassion and kindness. Friendships are being formed, which I so truly love. The modules build on each other—awareness, grounding, breathing, coping—and the spiritual direction has been a game changer for me. Faith has always been a big part of my life, but this reminded me that our lives are not our own plan—they’re God’s plan. Now I feel more free inside. The emptiness has gone away. I’ve joined suicide walks, traveled, and made strong connections that continue outside the calls. My faith, which once wavered, is now stronger. I feel lighter, and I keep moving forward."

"After my child died by suicide, it was the most difficult time of my life. I felt completely fragmented, completely disassociated, and like my soul had been ripped out of my body. I was desperate for some help, but nothing truly supported me. Then I came across Ashley and the Life After Loss Blueprint. So first of all, it's a beautiful community of other women who've had a loss to suicide. It's a sacred place where there's a lot of trust, and we can express ourselves. We can talk about anything and feel safe doing it. The modules bring you through a gentle journey, a pathway to healing, and it's allowed me to see that I can heal and hold this loss with compassion. Honestly, I see that I can have a joyful life. I can have a life with happiness and joy. Just saying that is evidence of this healing journey. It hasn’t been easy, but I do see that it’s possible—and it’s a gift to have that."

Karen, Bereaved Mom, Canada
"Before the Life After Loss Blueprint, life felt like a mountain I could never reach the top of. I just wanted to sleep and hide away. I felt like I was functioning almost out of body, completely alone, and nothing I tried—retreats, exercise, workshops, even pilgrimages—gave me hope. My grief felt too big to overcome. One night I cried out to God, “I absolutely cannot do this.” The very next morning, Ashley’s program appeared in my Facebook feed. I reached out, and my journey began. Life inside this community is absolutely a godsend—a soft place to fall. It’s like nowhere else. It’s my place to be myself, my authentic self, where I can heal and be heard. It’s very unique and very special. The modules gave me tools to regulate my body and face my grief, and the spiritual direction has been an answer to prayer. Even when I wanted nothing to do with God, He met me with grace, and through this program I could finally say: Jesus loves me. Now I feel massively different. There is hope where there was despair. A few months in, I even noticed myself smiling again. I’m not just surviving—I’m starting to thrive."

"I was feeling stuck with guilt and personal responsibility. I had tried group therapy and EMDR therapy, but something still felt unresolved. Working with Ashley helped me make peace with the past and embrace the new relationship I have with my partner who died by suicide. Ashley is a fabulous coach and a beautiful person who truly wants to help people with grief. She listens deeply, shares your emotions as if they were her own, and offers real compassion. Because of her, I feel like I’m on a path of healing and new opportunities instead of being stuck in grief. I would recommend Ashley to anyone struggling with loss."

Nicole, Bereaved Wife, USA
"Having Ashley as my guide was the greatest blessing I could have asked for. She made sure I always felt supported, heard, and understood during a very vulnerable process. Ashley is unbelievably warm, empathetic, and deeply knowledgeable. Her presence created a space where true healing could happen, and I am forever grateful for the difference she made in my life."

Grace, Bereaved Daughter, USA
"Before working with Ashley, I felt like every inch of my body was drying in cement. I was consumed by shame, regret, and thoughts of ending my life. I tried therapists, support groups, even medication—but nothing helped me move forward. Then Ashley’s program changed everything. In just twenty minutes, I learned more than I had from anyone else. She helped me rewrite my story, find tools to live with my grief, and reconnect with my son in a way I never thought possible. The work is hard, but this program saved my life. It was, by far, the best investment I’ve ever made."

Ell, Bereaved Mom, USA
“Before working with Ashley, my biggest struggle was admitting I needed help. I kept pushing forward, hoping time would heal things—but deep down, I felt stuck. Through her program, I realized we are not meant to grieve alone. That shift changed everything. Instead of shutting people out, I began letting them in. Ashley’s compassionate, step-by-step approach helped me open up in ways I never thought possible. I no longer feel like I have to carry my grief alone.”

Carmela, Bereaved Daughter, Canada
"After losing my son, I sought help from my longtime psychologist, but I was told to ‘be strong’ for my family. I tried for three years to carry that weight, but it became unbearable. I felt consumed by guilt, struggling to breathe under the heaviness of my loss. Nothing I tried brought relief. Then I found Ashley. Her compassionate guidance helped me release the weight I carried and refocus on the love and life in front of me. For the first time, I felt lighter and like I could breathe again. I’m forever grateful for Ashley—this process truly changed my life. It gave me hope and the ability to move forward in a meaningful way.”

Ellen, Bereaved Mom, Canada
"Ashley is someone that God placed in my life when I needed her most. She is an 'earth angel' — authentic, empathetic, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and kind. Somehow, she just 'got me' and what I was experiencing. Being guided by Ashley through such a vulnerable process gave me the safety and support I needed to truly heal. I am endlessly grateful for her presence on my journey and the way she helped me reconnect with life again."
