Public Speaking

The uniqueness of every loss is in tandem with the uniqueness of every person that is lost. Sheryl knows how personal and isolating your grief feels: you alone know exactly what you’ve been through. She will treat you and your journey with complete trust, empathy, and individual regard, with the knowledge that your experience is your own.

Through her public speaking engagements, Sheryl provides grief exploration in practical and creative ways:

Resources related to understanding grief and loss.
Guidance on how to help a grieving friend or family member.
Topics to provoke perspective and meaning in one’s journey of grief.
Information sharing and gathering in a safe space to feel validated and seen to navigate a community of courageous grievers.
Tools and guidance related to caregiver support.

Who I've Helped

"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.
