For parents
When you've lost a child
Quiet, unhurried support for parents — at any age, by any cause, at any point on the long road. From someone who has walked this ground.
A Soft Place to Land
You don't have to
grieve alone.
I'm Erin. I sit with people in the quiet, slow work of loss — gently, on your terms, for as long as you need.
Why this work
I came to this work
the long way around.
I lost my daughter to cancer in 2016. Years before, I lost my son to the same rare condition. Grief did not ask me to be strong. It asked me to stay — for myself, and eventually for other people standing where I once stood.
This space is for the people now in that quiet, strange after. You don't have to know what to ask for. You just have to arrive.
How I help
Wherever you sit
in the room of grief.
Three of the people I most often walk alongside. Anyone moving through loss is welcome — find the door that feels closest.
For siblings
The grief that often goes unseen
A place where your loss is centered, not the footnote. Room for everything you carry alongside everyone else's grief.
For family & friends
Standing alongside someone you love
Support for the helpers — your own grief, plus practical guidance on how to keep showing up gently for the long middle.
When you're ready
A note is enough
to begin.
There's no right thing to say, and no timeline you owe me or yourself.
A short version
A little about me,
in brief.
I'm a mother, a writer, and someone who learned — the long way — how to be a soft place for other people's hardest seasons.
The longer version of how I got here — loving and losing two of my children, and what came after — lives in the companion site.
