If you’ve lost your person,
and you’re ready to start living again,
then you’re in the right place.


Ember & Bloom Coaching
is for widowed people who want
more than just survival.

You don’t have to
carry this alone.

Welcome to Ember and Bloom

The ember is what remains—warm, enduring, and real. The bloom is what slowly grows around it.

About

I am Gladys Jean Ullstam and I support widows as they navigate life after loss.

A Conversation of Hope

Schedule a free, 45 minute consultation.

Grief doesn’t dull your ember—it reminds you it’s there, glowing with memory and love. Together we’ll shine a light on beliefs that drive anxiety, overwhelm, guilt or self-doubt, replacing them with empowering questions that shift how you feel, choose, and act.

Life Coaching
for Widows

You’ll learn to tend your ember and make room for a bloom of confidence, joy, and connection. With compassionate guidance, you can carry your loss forward and embrace life that honors your love.

This one-on-one coaching is for you if…

  • You’re going through the motions but feel disconnected inside.

  • You feel like you “should” be okay by now, but you’re not.

  • You keep it together for others, but in private, you feel lost and alone.

  • You feel weighed down by overwhelm and don’t know where to begin.

  • You want to feel more like you again — even if you aren’t sure how.

  • You’re willing to explore what life can look like beyond just surviving.

A Different Way to Heal

Time alone doesn’t soften the weight of grief.

What brings change is the choice to keep moving — even when it feels impossible.

I’ve learned, step by step, how to carry my love and loss together and shape a life that still feels like mine.

In Ember & Bloom Coaching, you’ll receive caring guidance, practical support, and gentle structure to help you find steadiness again — all in a few months, not years.

There is support.
There is a path forward.
You don’t have to do this alone.

And I’ll be right beside you.
