The Polly
Grief Space
For daughters whose world shifted the day they lost their mom.
Named after my Mom, Polly.
Built because I couldn't find this space when I needed it most.
This isn't a space that will ask you to find closure, move through neat stages or feel better
on someone else's timeline.
Some grief doesn't tidy itself.
Some love leaves a mark that stays.
Some losses just don't fit a framework.
This is space for that.
I get it. Because I’m living it too.
In January 2024, my world shattered with a phone call. My mom, Polly, had a sudden cardiac arrest. Just hours later, she was gone.
I’m a therapist. I’d sat with clients through their darkest moments for nearly a decade. I thought I understood grief. Losing my mom showed me I didn't. Not really.
The sleepless nights. The hollow ache. The isolation of feeling like I was drowning while everyone else kept moving forward.
I went looking for something real. Something honest. Something that didn’t ask me to perform recovery or rush through the hard parts.
I couldn’t find it.
So I built it.
How I can help:
Right Here
Some days grief doesn't announce itself. It just hits. And you need somewhere to go with it.
Right Here is an audio support program for the moments when you don’t know how to get through the day.
Not a course. Not a fix. Just something to reach for that will support you when you need it most.
Grief Journal
Carrying Her Forward
The journals started as my own way of surviving and processing my grief.
'Carrying Her Forward' was written for daughters carrying the loss of their mom. It's a two-part journal. One part to help you process your grief honestly, one part to preserve memories and stay connected to her love. Because losing her doesn't mean losing everything you shared.
It also comes with a QR code inside giving you access to a library of guided audios — so support is there even when words aren’t enough.
Grief Journal
Your Grief - Your Words
Not every loss looks the same. 'Your Grief Your Words' is for anyone carrying a grief that needs somewhere to go.
A guided journal that gives you space to write your truth, honour what you’re feeling and move through it at your own pace. No right way. No wrong answers. Just you and the page.
Also includes a QR code giving you access to guided audios for the moments when you need more than words.
Real Talk on Social Media
Follow along for honest reflections on grief that don’t sugarcoat the hard parts.
This isn’t about healing on someone else’s timeline.
It’s about learning to carry what you’re carrying - and knowing you’re not alone in it.
The Polly Grief Space
Named after my mom, Pauline (Polly), who taught me about love, strength, and compassion
and whose loss taught me that grief doesn’t follow the rules.
