Hi, I’m Michelle — writer, grief guide, and founder of Holding Space with Michelle. I create printable grief cards for the people we love, the losses we can’t explain, and the moments that the greeting card company that must not be named never quite gets right.

With a background in journalism and crisis communications, I’ve spent years finding the right words — for myself and for others — during impossible moments. Now I use that

same voice — honest, calm, and sometimes a little bit wry — to help people feel seen in the thick of loss.

These collections were born from real-life heartbreak — and a fierce belief that quiet support, honest words, and a touch of gallows humor can help carry someone through.

Contrary to what the aisles and algorithms might suggest, there’s not just one way to grieve. Sometimes comfort whispers. Sometimes it growls. Either way, these cards are here to walk with you through the ache.

If you are here you are probably hurting. Or someone you love is. Either way: I’m glad you found your way to this corner of the internet. You are not alone.
