Dr. Julie Shaw

Say hello to ... Grief. Community. Growth. Healing. Support.

Hello I’m Grieving, and maybe you are too. You are not alone. You belong here.

Your grief is important.

Hello, I want you to know…

Your Grief Is Important

There is a reason why you are here. Maybe you recently experienced the loss of someone in your life or you are looking for a way to support someone who has. I am grateful you took the time to be here and find the support you need. Oftentimes we feel alone as we grieve and we don't give ourselves the permission to grieve fully and authentically. I want you to know your grief is important and your grief is as unique as you are.  There's no one way to grieve and your grief will evolve as change as much as you will over your lifetime. Taking the first step to acknowledging your grief is the hardest step to take. So thank you for taking that step, for being here, and for saying hello to your grief.

Read some community impact stories below

  • Emily's Impact Story

    ““After losing several people close to me I started searching on for grief related content and found your community. The content really supported me in my grief and helped me hold on to a glimpse of light.”

  • Rhiannon's Impact Story

    “I wasn’t sure what to expect going in to my first ever “grief” event but from the moment I stepped into the space, I could feel this warm community of safety and calm that Dr. ShaW had created. Almost immediately I felt overcome with emotion, I don’t think I realized the weight I was carrying until I started listening to what Dr. Shaw and the other attendees were saying. The sense of safety allowed me to open up more deeply than I do with friends or family in a break out session. It was an incredibly moving and eye opening experience, and a deeply personal community connection that I hadn’t felt so quickly or intensely before. ”

  • Barri's Impact Story

    “I have been a proud participant at beautifully executed workshops and talks led by Dr. Shaw. Also as a featured guest on her podcast. She is warm, empathic and a natural leader in the grief space. I am proud to call her a colleague and now friend.”

  • Kristina's Impact Story

    “Dr. Shaw’s stories about her own experiences with grief and how she was processing the passing of her sister gave me so much clarity and comfort through my own grief and loss I experienced in such a short time. I was struggling and didn’t even realize how much of that struggle was actually my grief. She’s given me such a safe space to share and she’s made me feel seen and heard whenever I’ve been brave enough to comment or share my own vulnerable experience. Thank you!”

Hello I’m Grieving Podcast

Listen as Dr. Julie Shaw interviews diverse guests from experts to everyday grievers. This podcast is a great educational and supportive resource as you navigate grief. 
Hello I'm Grieving first started out as a way to outwardly express grief. Gone are the days where we signal to others that we are grieving. Wearing these has been a way to signal to others, share your grief, and a conversation starter to create some very authentic relationships. 

Have you ever wanted to wear your grief on your sleeve?
