Grief is hard, but the answer is simple:
Just Show Up.
Grief isn’t only about death—it appears in divorce, diagnosis, job loss, and more. Often unseen or unrecognized, what if we learned to navigate it with greater support?
I’m Yvonne Heath
International Speaker, Author & Founder of the #IJustShowedUp Movement
I help people have the conversations we're afraid to have about grief, change, and life's challenging moments–so we're ready when they happen. Or at the very least, not be blindsided.
Why? Because here's something that might surprise you: When a crisis hits, 95% of the support and care comes from our communities—family, friends, neighbours…not the healthcare system¹. We've been assuming it's the other way around, but the help we think exists doesn’t.
We take care of ourselves and each other the best we can—AND we can do it even better! Through my books, speaking, training and programs, I support people to do just that. Even when it’s awkward and uncomfortable. Even when we can’t fix it.
Together, we will learn how to Just Show Up as our imperfect and real selves, so none of us has to face the tough stuff alone and P.P.E.— Be Proactive. Practice. Teach By Example.

Sometimes showing up looks like sending a text. Sometimes it's sitting in uncomfortable silence. And it’s always about wearing a bracelet that reminds you and others that we're all in this together.
