"Gratitude is not an obligation. It’s a gift."
- S.B.
after experiencing the death of her brother and participating in one of Dr. Peggy’s gratitude programs
"I haven’t stopped talking about what we learned with you to friends and family. Thank you, Peggy!!"
"It was most enjoyable. I needed something positive and this was it!"
"Peggy touched my heart, which encouraged me to show gratitude toward others today and in a bigger way."
"Thanks for the wonderful information! I’m so inspired! I can’t wait to get started in my own life."
"Peggy really is amazing, and the expressions were so heartfelt."
"Peggy DeLong is inspiring and informative at the same time. In a word, she’s: brilliant."
"I appreciate your honesty and openness. It helped me to know that you know."
“I loved your openness and warmth.”
“So helpful – thank you for giving me all these ideas!”
I discovered what heals grief. I didn’t want to, but I had to.
My vibrant fiance was battling cancer, and there was nothing left the doctors could do for him.
So for the last 42 days of his life at the hospital, I celebrated his life with him, all while fearing and preparing for his death.
I never knew which doctors were going to come by. I never knew if he would be able to open his eyes and look at me. I never knew if he’d be able to speak my name that day. I never knew what condition he’d be in, day by day, as I sat next to him and slept next to him in the hospital recliner, night by night.
In those anxiety-provoking days that were filled with so much uncertainty, I was able to find comfort in the one thing that was consistently predictable...
A cup of hazelnut coffee.
I could stretch my legs and walk down the seven flights of stairs to the café to purchase my cup of coffee, or ask someone to get it for me when he did not want me to leave his side. The aroma filled his hospital room and made it feel less sterile and more like home. I wrapped my hands around the cup and the warmth comforted me.
That was 27 years ago.
Now I understand what my 26 year old self did not understand…
I felt better with that cup of hazelnut coffee
because I was practicing gratitude.
I was so grateful for that cup of coffee during my very worst of days. It was all I had. When the love of my life was dying, and my dreams for the future dying with him, I was able to find comfort through gratitude for a simple cup of hazelnut coffee.

Here’s what I’ve learned in my 21 years as a psychologist, meeting 1:1 with over 4,000 people.
- People are suffering, and they need help.
- People are feeling more lonely and more disconnected than ever.
- Grief is everywhere, and most don’t even know they’re grieving. They just think something’s wrong with them, and they judge themselves for it.
- Everyone is struggling in one way or another, and everyone is trying to hide it.
- People are not taught how to grieve, and really struggle when they find themselves in it.
- Everyone has the ability to practice gratitude, and it’s possible to practice gratitude on the worst day of your life.
- Research in neuroscience demonstrates that practicing gratitude has a positive impact on the brain.
- People are not familiar with simple, research-backed methods to heal grief and feel better.
- You can practice gratitude anywhere, any time of day, and all you need is your mind.
- Practicing gratitude is a universal healer.
This is why I’ve designed HEAL for you. Staying inside grief over the loss of your partner, without caring support can feel insurmountable. But I promise you, it’s not.
I’ve noticed a trend with people offering grief support without having licensure in the mental health field. This kinda scares me!
There is a reason that licensure is required of mental health professionals. It’s not to protect me – it’s to protect YOU! You would want a licensed plumber or electrician working on your house, wouldn’t you? A licensed doctor performing surgery?
With a license, you know you’re working with someone who is properly trained and credentialed in that field.
But not everyone can afford traditional mental health services. To address that issue, I offer services that are free, and I offer services that cost less than working with me 1:1, such as this program, HEAL – for mental health and support through grief.
I know that what I teach you in HEAL works. I know that that gratitude and all of the other research-backed methods improve emotional well-being.
The scientist-psychologist in me just LOVES that the content in HEAL is backed by research. LOTS of research. And I’ll share that with you, too.
It’s time to learn about the healing power of gratitude and these other ideas and apply them to your life and your grief journey.
You CAN decrease your symptoms of depression and anxiety that come with grief.
You CAN stop your negative thoughts from spinning out of control.
You CAN stop worrying about whether or not life is ever going to get better.
And the great part – it is SIMPLE, and it is FEELS GOOD while you’re doing it.
I’ll teach you what you need to know, to move through your grief.
