What people say about our work...

        Lucy and her work have been a ‘game-changer’ in my grief process, my ‘go to’ support mechanisms whilst navigating this first year of loss. Her words gave me hope that we would somehow recover and might even grow.

        Your work is exactly what I've been looking for for a decade. A few years after my sister died, I was ready to move beyond 'everything sucks' to 'how do I let this make me stronger'? So many times in grief, I just wanted to be heard, other times I wanted straight up advice. Lucy is that guide, what I'd been searching for all those years.

        I just wanted to say how much I appreciate having come across your work in my exhaustive grief research. I lost my soulmate father in March and was desperate for anything that could help me. You did, and continue to do to so, so thank you.

Hi, I'm Lucy and I'm on a mission to shift the narrative around grief.


I know the agony of bereavement personally, having experienced heartbreaking loss when our 12 year old daughter was killed in a tragic road accident.


When Abi died, as a resilience researcher, I quickly became frustrated by the standard grief advice. I desperately wanted to be an active participant in my grief process, doing everything I possibly could to survive, instead of a helpless passenger, or treated as a victim.


In the years since, I have become known globally for helping thousands of people find a better way through bereavement. There is no one 'right' way to grieve, but there are tools from my field that can make the journey less agonising and empower the bereaved to handle their emotions and relationships better.


My TED talk, 3 Secrets of Resilient People, went viral during Covid, putting it in the Top 20 most watched talks of 2020.


Nowadays, I'm a senior adjunct professor and travel the world as a professional speaker, best-selling author, and award-winning ‘pracademic’. I blog for Psychology Today and my grief work is featured in the Guardian, the Washington Post, the BBC, CBS, ABC, the Sydney Morning Herald, Channel News Asia, Swedish Television, and TVNZ.


Frankly, grief sucks! Nothing I can do will remove all the pain of grief, but I can share everything I've learned to help you support others through their loss - helping them restore hope, regain control and feel more like themselves again.


Ultimately, it is possible to live and grieve at the same time. I look forward to showing you how.


Lucy 💗
