Steady the day
Gentle guidance for managing responsibilities when even simple decisions feel overwhelming.
You do not have to know how to do all of this today.
Grieving—and still parenting.
When your spouse or partner dies, the world changes for you and your children at the same time. Raising Them Without You offers compassionate, practical support for the questions, decisions, and ordinary moments that continue while you and your children adjust to all that has changed.
Made for this particular kind of loss
Because grieving a partner while raising children asks something different of you.
Support your children
Help navigating difficult conversations, changing emotions, and the different ways children grieve.
Care for you, too
Permission to ask for help, make room for your own grief, and take this one decision at a time.
Created from lived experience
You can love your children deeply and still feel unsure of the way forward.
I created Raising Them Without You after my husband died because many grief resources offered comfort, but few addressed the everyday reality of continuing to parent.
This space is for the practical and emotional middle: the meals, paperwork, school days, bedtime questions, changing routines, and the quiet work of helping your children feel safe while you are trying to find your own footing.
