"You are not moving from grief into healing.
You are learning how to live in a landscape
where both exist."

— Avery Collura

This is for you if…

You're tired of being told
to move on.

There's a stretch of grief most content doesn't reach. The part after the funeral, after the friends stop checking in, after the platitudes have run out.

The part where you're still in it, and you're not sure when — or whether — you're supposed to stop.

—

The world kept moving. You haven't been able to.

—

The friends who showed up at first have gone back to their lives, and you can't decide if you're relieved or furious.

—

You're using more energy hiding it than feeling it.

—

You don't want a five-stage plan. You want to feel like it's okay to still be in this.

—

You want to stay connected to the love, even though the person isn't here.

Meet Avery Collura

"My husband Dan died in France in June 2023.
It was alcohol-related. An addiction we both struggled with."

That's the sentence I had to learn to say, in that order. Not "I lost him." Not "he passed." Dan died. He had a name. We were both drinking like that.

For a long time after, I didn't have a method. I had a life that wasn't mine to keep, a country I had to leave, and a body I didn't trust. I drank for a while longer. I stopped. I went to work — sobriety, community, embodied practice, somatic and grief training, time in rooms with other people who had lost what couldn't be replaced.

What I have now is a framework I'm still building. A loss hole. A garden of restoration. The work of moving between them. The audios in this series are the first piece of it I've put into a form anyone else can hold.

I don't have grief figured out — but I do have a method, and a life I wouldn't trade. And I'd like to teach you how, too.

The heart of this work

The hole
in the garden.

The grief hole is not something to climb out of. It is part of the landscape of your life now — a presence that asks to be met. Not fixed. Not filled. Just witnessed.

Alongside it, the garden is still growing. Connection, laughter, moments of beauty, new love — the parts of life that continue to expand even after everything has changed. The garden is not a replacement for what was lost. It is not a "moving on." It is life continuing, in parallel with grief. And it requires tending.

The work is not choosing one over the other. It is learning how to be in relationship with both. Some days you walk to the edge of the hole and step inside. Other days you are in the garden, fully present, able to feel joy and aliveness. Often, you are holding both at the same time.

Here is the part most people miss. The hole does not get smaller. When you step inside, you find it the same size it has always been — that is the truth of the loss, and it does not change. What changes is the landscape around it. As the garden grows wider, the proportions shift. The hole stays the same. The garden grows around it.

It might feel not-okay forever,
and that's okay too.

The hole

The depth of what has been lost. Love with nowhere left to land. A presence to be met, not escaped.

↕

The garden

What is still growing. The continuation of love in new forms. It requires tending.

↕

The oscillation

Moving between the two. Sometimes the body does it for you. Sometimes you can choose. Where the oscillation gets fast, grief can begin to be transmuted.

What others say

Real people.
Real presence.

"I was getting tired of failing at certain steps of my grief. Listening to these made me feel like I could just drop into the process, and that that was enough. I do it in my own time and come back to it whenever. The short walking meditation is the one I reach for most; I can drop into the grief space almost anywhere, whenever it asks."

Carolynn S.

"I lost my dad five years ago and somehow convinced myself I'd already dealt with it. I hadn't. I took these slow, one a day over about a week, and things started surfacing that I didn't know were still there. It didn't feel like reopening a wound. It felt like finally giving him the attention I never let myself give."

Michael T., lost his dad in 2021

"I've listened to them all, and the two I keep coming back to are the walk and the visualization. It doesn't try to fix me or rush me, and honestly that's why I trust it. I've already sent it to my sister."

Danielle R.

Common hesitations

You might be
wondering…

Grief makes us careful. That's not a flaw — it's self-protection. These are the things Avery hears most often, and she wants to meet them with honesty.

"I'm not sure I'm ready for this."+

You don't have to feel ready. The first audio is ninety seconds long and tells you how to use the rest. If you can listen for ninety seconds, you can start.

"I've tried grief things before and they didn't help."+

This won't make your grief disappear. What it will do is help you carry it differently — with more room to breathe, and more of you present for the life that's still here. It teaches you to meet grief as a companion, with a structure to hold the work: a loss hole, a garden, and the rhythm of moving between them.

"Will this be too painful to go through?"+

Grief is painful. The audios don't try to change that. What they do is give you agency in how you meet it — when you open the door, how long you sit, when you say that's enough for today. You can pause any time. You can skip a piece. You can come back in three months. The walking piece is built to come last because by then the body usually wants to move. The body sets the pace. The audios follow it.

"Is $47 really going to make a difference?"+

$47 is about what dinner out costs. You get ten audio pieces — a poem about the night I met my grief, a framework that gives the experience a shape, a visualization, a walk. Listen on your phone, in the car, on a walk. Worth it for the poem alone.

"I don't know if I belong here."+

If you have loved someone and lost them — you belong here. If you are carrying something heavy and no one around you seems to understand — you belong here. The audios don't ask what kind of grief, how long ago, or what stage you're in. They start where you start.

What you're getting

Audio you keep, on the phone already in your hand.

Ten short audio pieces. About an hour the first time through.

No app to install. Download every piece once and it is yours, no logging in to listen.

And the whole series on paper: every word of the audios as a PDF in your library, with room to write after the pieces that ask for it.

Ten audio pieces. About an hour the first time through. Yours forever after that.
