She didn’t run from grief. She turned it into a lifeline for others.

Grief didn’t slow her down.

It gave her purpose.

Karen lost seven loved ones

in five short years.

Including her dad

her heartbeat.

She was crushed.

Exhausted.

And then…

cut off by the same family

she once leaned on.

Her health collapsed.

Her doctor said,

“Put yourself first…

or you might not make it.”

So she walked away.

- From the pain.

- From the dysfunction.

And from who she used to be.

She remembered her dad’s words:

“If you can help someone,

just do it.”

So she did.

Karen became a grief coach.

She started Seniors Grief Circle

to guide people at midlife

through loss, heartbreak,

and complicated family pain.

Her method?

- Faith.

- Real talk.

- Mind-body healing.

And support that actually sticks.

She helps people

make peace with grief,

so they can live again.

Not perfectly.

But fully.

With:

- hope.

- honesty.

- God at the center.

Karen doesn’t just talk grief.

She lived it.

And now she offers

what she never had:

- A guide through the storm.

- A safe space for healing.

And real talk

that soothes the soul.

When did your pain

push you toward purpose?
