Guiding grieving people toward restoration,
expansion, and joy.

 

Welcome

Your world has changed. Someone you love is gone, and the life you imagined has shifted in an instant. The ache in your chest, the fear of facing a future without them- grief can take your breath away. You may worry that your feelings are “too much” or that you’re somehow alone in them. You’re not. What you’re feeling is real, human, and deeply understandable.

Grief is a formidable path- a heartache like no other- but it’s a path you can walk. When we’re supported and equipped, we can move through the heartbreak and access the wisdom it holds, honoring our loved ones by reclaiming our lives in the world we know now.

You don’t have to rush or “get over” anything. But you can grow through this. You can find resilience, clarity, and even joy- a joy that doesn’t erase your loss, but lives alongside it in a way that honors both your loved ones and yourself.

You are not broken. You are not alone. You are the hero on this journey. And you can expand again—into strength, grace, and a life that still holds meaning. Step in. Take a breath. Let’s walk this path together.

Meet Leslie

I’m Leslie Palumbo. I’ve walked this path myself, losing my mother to suicide and my partner of 30 years after a long, painful illness. I’ve felt the disorientation, the relentless ache, and the terror of life without them. But I’ve also learned that grief, while excruciating, can be a teacher—a guide to discovering strength you didn’t know you had and finding moments of joy even amidst the sorrow.

Grief asks so much of you—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. In my one-on-one work, I offer a steady, compassionate partnership to help you find your footing again, understand what’s happening inside you, and restore the parts of life that feel lost or overwhelming. If you’re seeking personalized support, deep clarity, and a path forward that honors your unique story, I invite you to learn more and book a consultation.

 

To grieve fully is the same as allowing
yourself to love fully without reservation
— it is a gift you give yourself
and the world. ~LHP

I can accept...

“Leslie was my ‘Angel of Grief’. She arrived in my life at the right moment, my moment of most profound sadness, and she guided me to a place where I could see and hold it all- the beauty and the terror of my loss. I never thought I would say this, but I now see this terrible tragedy in my life as something that has actually made me a better person. I still miss my daughter every day, but I can also see ways that I’m a better person now. And I can accept all of that.”
~Anna

More Positive....

“Four years after losing my partner, I feel less depressed and stuck in my grief. Leslie’s approach helped me shift my perspective. I feel more positive about my life ahead, like there might even be a life, and I never felt that until now.”
~Georgi

Happier....

“Leslie helped me see grief, and death, as something sacred, in which there could be great learning. Losing my wife was the worst thing that ever happened to me, and I would give anything to have her here. At the same time, life feels more beautiful and more full because of the knowledge of how precious it is. Could it be possible that I am happier now? Not because of the loss, but because of how grief has expanded me.”
– Jim W

I see the beauty...

“Besides being a well trained and skilled professional, Leslie took the pain and loss in her own life and made it into something beautiful and she helps others do the same.”
~ Jeffrey
