Learning From Loss - A Path to Intentional Living

The loss of someone we love changes us — not just how we feel, but how we live. One thing we have in common is that we all face loss. In recent years, I’ve experienced the deaths of 39 friends and family members! Only 11 of those were the expected, timely passings of parents and grandparents. The others were taken by terminal illness, sudden death, accidents, suicide — even murder.
The most impactful of these losses was the unexpected death of my husband of 43 years, Peni.


Since then, I’ve become more aware of my own mortality — and of the preciousness of life. The losses have changed me, but have also taught me. And when I’ve shared those learnings, others have found them comforting, helpful, even inspiring.


In response to invitations, I’ve begun speaking and facilitating conversations about loss and intentional living around Aotearoa — and now I’m offering this in Whangārei.


Join me for a special 2-hour gathering during Matariki, to reflect on the life lessons grief can teach us — and how those lessons can help us live a more purposeful, regret-free life.

Come for yourself. Come for someone you’ve lost. Come for the life still waiting to be lived.
