Welcome to Ember and Bloom

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

Gladys Ullstam, Life Coach

Life Coaching
for Widows

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.

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.

Holding the Ember:
A Free Conversation for Widows

Grief changes everything—and sometimes,
what we need most is simply a place to begin.

Holding the Ember is a free, no-pressure conversation created just for widows who are carrying the weight of life after loss and quietly asking, what now? Whether you feel lost, numb, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to take even one step forward, this is your space to pause, breathe, and be heard. There is no right way to do this, and nothing you need to prepare.

We’ll talk about where you are right now, what you’re feeling, and what you might want moving forward. Sometimes, just saying things out loud is the first step toward something new. If you’ve been wondering whether life can feel a little less heavy—it can. And it begins with a conversation.
