Grief is as unique as your fingerprint and is a reflection of the love you felt for the person you lost.

Sheryl Yanover Goldstein

Certified Grief Educator

My “normal” family existence was shattered by the diagnosis of an extremely aggressive brain cancer to the young, vibrant, successful, healthy patriarch of our family: my husband Ira Goldstein. Ira was the father of three daughters and President of a successful division of a well-established Montreal company.

People in grief are not “broken” needing to be “fixed.”

However, grief can be spoken, it can be shared and it can be witnessed. The greatest gift you can offer someone in grief is to be the listener.

My goal is simple: to be present for others experiencing loss and to provide support. I will be fully present for those in their grief and guide them towards honouring their loved ones throughout their individual journeys.

"Sheryl's presence became a guiding light in the darkness of my grief following the loss of my husband, her empathy and understanding serving as a balm for my wounded soul. With each comforting word and gentle gesture, Sheryl gently nudged me towards healing, offering sage advice and compassionate wisdom that gradually eased the weight of my grief. Through her unwavering support and genuine concern, Sheryl became more than just a friend; she became a beacon of hope and strength during my darkest days, and remained a steadfast anchor, reminding me that even in the midst of pain, love and compassion could light the way forward.
