Hi My name is Judy Strong. I am a writer, educator, and certified grief facilitator.

I help people with  loss, healing and moving forward.

When trauma hits, you need support, comfort and guidance for understanding what has happened to you.

As a survivor, speaker, and grief facilitator, I have looked into the faces of countless people who were overwhelmed with the agony of grief and loss.

Our resources give you step by step guidelines for moving from chaos to calm. 

Information and support is essential for creating a new life plan. Here’s where my experience can guide you.

When I became a widow, with children still living at home, I had no idea how to manage a job, a household, and our grief. I soon realized that I had to prioritize exactly what was necessary for our wellbeing.

I will show you how to solve your problems, one at a time, and create the life you want. 

Results are peace of mind, a sense of purpose, and the life you want. Not one that happens to you.

For guidance and a better understanding of what happens, see our Resource page.

Sign up for regular information and current news.

Please leave me a note if you have questions,  comments or  ideas. I love to hear from you.
