In the midst of living life there are many beautiful experiences that go along with our journeys. The birth of child. The joy of coming together with a loved one. The countless milestones along the way, but what about the experience of death and the pain of grief that comes afterwards? My guest this week is here to shed light on a subject that most people are not comfortable with.

Her name is Sharon Brubaker and she is a certified Life Coach and credentialed Grief Specialist. After the tragic drowning of her ten-year-old nephew Austin, Sharon was heartbroken. She never thought she would feel normal again.  She felt an overwhelming urge to “fix” her baby sister.  Little did she know at the time that Erica was not broken and did not need to be fixed. Just like her she was simply grieving. 

Sharon searched everywhere for grief healing for Erica.  She was lucky enough to find an educational program on grief and was so inspired by her own healing she decided to become a Grief Specialist.  Sharon is the founder of Grief Healing with Sharon.  The premier online grief coaching program for women suffering from grief due to death.

As a Grief Specialist, Sharon has helped hundreds of grieving women complete their own personal grief and come through the pain, isolation, and loneliness left behind in our hearts after death.

Sharon was the host of her own weekly radio show KHTS, The Grief Recovery Hour.  In 2018 Sharon was honored to be on the first ever Grief Specialist on the TEDx stage.

Together Sharon and Erica are the authors of The Healing Place and Processing Grief- the journal for the fresh new griever.  

She and Erica host a weekly podcast Healing Starts with the Heart, available on, iTunes, Spotify and SoundCloud.  Sharon and Erica travel around the country and help grieving people everywhere.
