Welcome to Motherhood Dissolved, a space born from the ashes of devastating loss and rebuilt with courage, compassion, and a fierce love that doesn’t fade. My name is Danielle, and I’m a bereaved mother, educator, grief coach, and lifelong student of healing. After the loss of my only child, I found myself living in a world I no longer recognized. My identity as a mother felt shattered and my purpose blurred. Everything dissolved. Piece by piece, with intention and love, I’ve been rebuilding. This space is both a record of that journey and a resource for others finding their way forward after profound loss.

Grief Coaching

Coaching isn’t about moving on. It’s about learning to live alongside your grief while making space for healing, hope, and purpose.

I specialize in supporting bereaved parents, but I welcome anyone ready to rebuild after profound loss.

About Me

Hi, I’m Danielle. I’m a bereaved mother, wife, former teacher and someone who’s been completely transformed by loss. My only child, Carter, died of pediatric bone cancer when he was ten. After his death, I tried to return to my old life teaching, living in our family-friendly neighborhood, spending time with mom friends. But nothing felt right anymore. I wasn’t a mother to a school-aged child; I was a woman in her 40s navigating an unfamiliar world without her son. The life I had known, the one I had poured my heart into, had dissolved.

Over time, with a lot of intention, I began to slowly rebuild. I moved to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, reconnecting with nature through hiking and skiing both activities Carter and I once loved together. I began exploring new ways of healing, like Reiki and mindfulness, which helped support me through trauma and overwhelm. I’ve found comfort in creativity, especially metalsmithing jewelry, and in meaningful connection with others who understand what deep loss feels like. Motherhood Dissolved is a space where I share that journey, the rawness of grief, the beauty of rebuilding, and the quiet strength it takes to live with love after loss.
