You don't need to be told it gets better. You need something to do on Tuesday.
Practical grief coaching for people who are functioning, exhausted, and quietly falling apart.
If any of this sounds familiar:
- You're exhausted in a way that has no obvious cause
- You forget things constantly and it's started to worry you
- Everyone stopped asking around week three, and it got harder after that
- Your loss didn't come with a funeral, so nobody's treating it as a loss
- You're further out than people expect, and it's worse now, not better
- You're managing. And privately you're not.
Nothing is wrong with you. Nobody's explained what's happening, and nobody's handed you anything you can use.
Grief coaching that gives you tools, not timelines.
I'm Deardra Yerger — a certified NLP life coach and certified grief educator. What I do is straightforward: I explain what grief is actually doing to your body, your sleep and your memory — and then I give you specific things to do about it. No stages. No timeline. No promise that this ends by a certain date.
Living After Loss
An eight-week program. 40 lessons, 40 guided exercises, 8 workbooks.
Built in a deliberate order. The first three weeks don't ask you to process anything — you build a floor you can hold on your worst day. Week four is where you turn toward it, carefully, with a way to stop. The last four weeks rebuild, and hand you a plan for the hard days still ahead. For bereavement, and equally for the losses nobody acknowledges — divorce, estrangement, dementia, a career, your health.
I'll tell you which techniques have evidence behind them, and which don't.
A lot of what I teach comes from NLP, and NLP has a mixed reputation — some claims haven't held up, some early research was poor. I'm certified in it and I'll tell you that anyway. Every technique in the program is labelled. Some have decades of research behind them. Some don't — and I say so, then let you test it and discard it if it does nothing. You've probably been sold a lot of certainty lately. This isn't that.
