~ Full Description & Details Below ~
We never 'get over', but we can move forward, bringing our kids with us...Because Legacy Matters!
NEXT SESSION STARTS February 5, 2025
The video above has the details. And because I know that with 'grief brain,' we need different ways to take in information.
You have survived, but you want need to do more...so what now?
Are you at a place in your healing journey where you are interested in taking hold of your 'now' life, of your own personal growth, after the suicide loss of your child?
As moms, one of the most significant sources of sadness after the loss of our children is feeling like they will be forgotten.
I bring these two things together in a powerful way with this project! You are ready for this next step in your healing, and that's where I can help!
Barb (Donavon's Mom)
"I would absolutely recommend this. It was very healing for me. These other women were like a major support...and it felt like in getting to know these women, our kids were also together and cheering us on and helping to hold us up. And the healing aspect of it... it's part of the work. Time doesn't heal everything. And if we wait for time to heal this for us, we're going to be waiting forever. So, you have to do the work and this, for me, was part of it. Thanks, Melissa"
Val (Noah's Mom)
"Things are so much different in my world now. This book was the beginning of the rest of my life without Noah. Learning to function and actually live without my boy started with you ladies and this book. I can't thank you enough."
Crystal (Taylor's Mom)
"...everything about it was just wonderful. You can just tell that you planned it out, even small details. It was an excellent experience. I'm very honored to be a part of this...and you really did make it easy to do. This legacy project is special and unique. It provides a connection, a healing, a bond, a type of therapy. I can't recommend it enough."
Nalini (Nick's Mom)
"...there's not enough words... to describe the gratitude and the love and the healing that I have been given by being provided this opportunity to share my son's story and get to know my son even a little bit better and remember him in a better way... I would strongly recommend it to anyone who's looking for community support, healing, , figuring out how to get through this grief journey, I got all of those things and much more from it. I'm so grateful to you, Melissa."
Rebecca (James’ Mom)
“The Legacy Project is amazing. It gave me the connection to my son that I did not think I would ever get back. The project helped me define my son's life, as well as my own, in a way that took the spotlight off of how I lost him. It not only brought me a sense of pride in my son, and in myself, that I will carry for the rest of my life, but his legacy will live on forever. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the Legacy Project!”
Ellen (Aidan's Mom)
"...this (project) provides a structure for us to do that work. I'm so grateful because somebody once said that, doing grief work is like pouring alcohol in the wound. It hurts really bad, but it's part of the process of healing But I don't think there will ever be a mother who takes part in telling their child's legacy that will say, I regret telling that story. I think that it...they are babies and we want their stories to be told and you'll never regret that. Thank you, all of you, for helping me do that because it was hard and I needed your hands to hold mine as we went through the process. Thank you"

"This looks amazing...but what if I am not a good writer?"
A friend of mine says it best..."You do NOT have to be a writer, to be an author" - H. Totten, Editor & Writing Coach
Let me tell you what you can expect in this 13-week, narrative-therapy-style group project:
- Thirteen weekly two-hour Zoom Sessions
- You will be guided and companioned every step of the way, including prompts, tools, checklists, and more.
- Remember, this is a healing process for you alongside a legacy project for your child - designed for the first 6-7 weeks to be about unpacking those memories (aka 'healing') -- yes, this includes some writing/prep before we dive into writing after that, but we do not just write in this project!
- Weekly discussions and Q&A time are included in each meeting.
- A private chat area is set up for all participants so that you can stay connected and offer support throughout the project.
- A (minimum) two-hour one-on-one session to review final "edits" (I say this in quotes because we will be helping you edit, but not for content—this is YOUR story—just edits for impact, flow, grammar, spelling, etc.). More one-on-one time allotted if needed to edit.
- Ultimately, the chance to be published as an author in a compilation-style Legacy book on Amazon (optional, of course). The Title = "Because They Lived" (with each having a unique Volume # & cover art, which you will have influence in)
- Lasting connections & friendships with other moms who understand this loss.
- Zoom Book Launch Event (about a month after the book is out) to celebrate and share what you have learned and accomplished.
- PLUS, you get BONUS items including access to the incredible Growth in Grief Course (free to you) and a TWO MONTH TRIAL to the All-Access Community AND an exclusive offer at the end of the project that will keep you growing & connected!
[NOTE: This project includes all editing, formatting, layout, design, publishing through Amazon, etc., which will be done by my team and me (Melissa). You just show up, do the work and write. The book will be published approximately four to six weeks after the project ends.]
If I still have your attention, you need to be on my list, and that starts with a 60-minute discovery call with me. No one will be accepted into the group until they have had this call. After the call, you will get an email to sign up if the project is a good fit for you at this time.
