From Pain
to Peace
Helping you on your journey in grief and/or bereavement, to navigate the path from pain to peace. You do not have to do this on your own. You are not alone.
Hi there!
Beautiful Soul,
If you're reading this, my heart already holds space for yours.
I know what it’s like to wake up to a life that looks completely different than the one you planned. The silence, the ache, the questions that feel too heavy to speak out loud—I’ve been there. And while the road through grief is deeply personal, you don’t have to walk it alone.
I created this space for you. A place where your pain is honored, your healing is nurtured, and your joy—yes, your joy—is possible again.
Grief changes us, but it doesn’t have to define us. Together, we’ll gently explore what it looks like to carry your love forward, while slowly rebuilding a life with meaning, peace, and purpose.
It’s okay if you don’t have the words yet. It’s okay if all you can do right now is breathe. Just know that hope lives here—and you are welcome exactly as you are.
With love and light,
Merrily MacIntosh, Grief Coach/Advocate
Service Offered
My purpose is to help you through my support services in both grief (loss of any kind) and/or bereavement (death, usually of a loved one).
Grief (various contexts)
Perhaps you have considered receiving support around grief after a loss (job, relationship, loss of a pet, etc.) or dramatic change in your life (retirement, divorce, empty-nesting, moving, etc.) Given my own personal experiences, training and various professional roles, I am able to help you work through various challenges that arise as a result.
Death of Spouse
The death of a loved one is devastating. When the loss is that of a spouse, one’s “everyday person”, it is especially traumatic. The early days of loss/grief can be incredibly challenging to navigate on one’s own. My personal experience with the sudden passing of my husband, along with my diverse work experience, including that of a Coroner in the field, allows me to walk alongside you, from a unique perspective. Together, we will embark on a journey
Client Success
"For the first time, I felt seen. This guide helped me stop feeling like I was drowning in ‘what now?’ and start creating ‘what’s next.’”
— Rebecca, Widow & Workshop Participant
"I printed out the daily grace pages and they are literally taped to my mirror. Merrily has a way of helping you breathe again."
— Caren, Grief Coaching Client
“In the last 30 days, I’ve cried, laughed, journaled, joined a support group, took a walk I thought I couldn’t take alone, made a new friend, said ‘yes’ to coffee, and smiled at a sunrise. I didn’t think that was possible after my loss. But little by little, healing has a way of meeting you where you are.”
-Janice, Widow & Community Member
