I'm your host and Grief & Soul Purpose Coach, Tara Accardo. I created Life With Grief and this community to normalize the complexities of grief, navigate life after loss, feel inspired along the way, and so much more. Consider this your safe space where you feel seen, validated, and supported. I'm in this with you as a fellow griever who lost both parents to cancer before I turned 30 (six months apart, no less), lost my fur baby less than a year later, and experienced a traumatic birth. I'm here to walk this path with you as we we work together and dig into how to live a fulfilling, vibrant life with grief in tow. I warmly invite you to tap into the world of healing with me and some truly incredible guests as you take in guidance, support, tangible coping tools, and uplifting conversations to help you cultivate a more meaningful, intentional existence. Be sure you're subscribed for laughs, life lessons, and everything in between... even beyond the grief, life is so much more than what we've lost, too.
