Join Me In Healing Grief Through This Life-Affirming, 5-Week Program.

I’m so sorry you’re hurting, and it’s wonderful that you’re here. I want you to know that is possible to feel better, even when you’re grieving the loss of your partner.

It can feel like you’ll never be happy again. Oh sure, you “know” you will, and you sort of believe that, but honestly? It can feel really hard. And it’s not your fault that it feels this way.

 

I know you’re hurting. I know you’re wondering how the world can go on when you’re in so much pain.

I know there are days it’s hard to get out of bed.

I know you’re thinking that you’ll never be happy again.

I know you’re thinking life’s so unfair, and right now, it is. Grief is hard.

"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!”

Begin to feel like yourself again.

Let's do this together.

In my 21 years as a psychologist, I’ve often heard people who are grieving say:

  • My grief is so overwhelming. It’s hard to imagine a day that I will ever feel better.
  • All day long, my sadness brings me down. I feel nothing for the things that used to bring me joy. What’s wrong with me?
  • My partner who died must be disappointed in me that I can’t even get out of bed.
  • My husband just died. How can life possibly ever be good again? How will I go on without him? How will I ever experience joy again? Do I even want to?
  • I feel like crap. Who would even want to be around me? But I crave company. I feel so lonely.
  • I can’t even sleep to escape my grief! Then I wake up tired and feel even worse.

hear you. I understand you. I’ve been there. And I can help.

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.

This is so simple, yet so powerful, and I want to share it with you.

Grateful was the last thing I imagined I’d feel during that time.

It was so odd when I found myself feeling grateful for the simplest of things.

It completely changed my perspective, and it completely changed my life.

And now I’m ready to help you change yours too, through this program, HEAL.

In this program for women grieving the loss of a life partner, I teach you the skills you need to move through your grief. And I’ll even help you get through it without feeling awful all the time.

This is a 5 week program that includes daily support with simple, highly effective techniques to help you transform your grief.

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.
