Sandy’s youngest son Mike, died in 2010. His death was by his own hand, he had died of suicide. To say that this was traumatic and complicated grief, is something of an understatement.

Already a life coach, Sandy was quite aware that this death could have devastating consequences for herself and those for whom she cared. She turned her attention, all her focus to acknowledging that pain and healing that grief.

This grief work has been profound and deeply healing. For both Sandy and the clients that she serves as a Master Grief Coach as well as a Master Grief Coach Trainer.

Master Grief Coach

I lost my firstborn son, Eli, to suicide on August 14, 2020. It brought me to my knees. While reading through messages in a Facebook support group for parents of children who died by suicide, I saw posts from parents who had lost their child ten years prior and were still immobilized by their grief. I made the conscious decision that I was going to do whatever it took to heal, whatever that looked like. The pain I was feeling was too raw and intense to imagine still feeling that way in ten years.

I also knew that Eli would not have wanted me to stop living because of his death. It was on this same page that I saw a post from Sandy Walden. It was a beacon of hope in the darkness. Here was a woman who had lost her son to suicide as well and had found a way not only to move forward with her life but to feel joy again. I also noticed the title…

In 2019 my son took his own life which brought me to my knees.

How could my youngest child be gone? How could I bury him 4 days before Christmas?

I had to find ways to live again!

Suicide is a completely devastating shock. The pain of child loss is something I don’t wish upon my greatest enemy; it takes multiple attempts to catch your breath and find ways to live with that unbearable grief.

I took a Master Grief Coach class to try to figure stuff out for me. I completed it and now I’m able to help…
