I lost my dad at fourteen.
My mom died in my twenties, before I had any language for the first loss. I wrote a book for teenagers living this now. I host a podcast for adults who kept going.
The book
For a teenager who lost a parent, and for the counselor, parent, or friend who would put it in their hands.
It talks plainly about the anger, loneliness, guilt, and numbness that can follow a parent's death.
It gives a teenager words for what may be happening when they do not know how to explain it.
This book is for teenagers. If you are the adult still carrying an early parent loss, Unparented is for you.
Get the bookThe podcast
Unparented.
For adults who lost a parent in childhood, their teens, or their early twenties, and who are in a job, a marriage, or raising kids now. Conversations about the loss showing up later, not about how to get over it.

If you want more than the podcast.
I work with adults who lost a parent before they were twenty-five and are living an adult life now.
If the loss is recent, or you are grieving a partner, a sibling, a child, or someone else, I may not be your coach. I will say so.
Faith can be in the room if you want it. I will not assume it.
