Road to Recovery - You’re Not Crazy, You’re just grieving with Kelli Neilson

Wonderful conversation with fellow bereaved mother and grief author Kelli Nielsen! I love when God aligns me with women who after an interview ask May I pray with you? Yes, ma'am you can! Kelli didn’t grow up with visions of becoming the founder of a grief coaching company, but life had other plans. After losing her mother to suicide in 2017 she found herself swept out in a sea of grief.  Barely able to get through the days she looked for help and was discouraged when she didn’t find the support or tools to recover. 

Thankfully an encounter with an inspiring speaker showed her that healing was available to her. She decided then and there to dedicate herself to recovering from grief.  She studied, prayed, documented her process, and began to recover.  Her recovery came not a moment too soon as just a year later her 20-year-old son Quintin died of an accidental drug overdose.

Kelli has since become a speaker, author, and coach. Her book, You’re Not Crazy, You’re Grieving, shares the process she used to heal from her tremendous losses. She also founded Grace For Living After Loss, a company focused on training churches and coaches to help people learn to move forward on purpose, in purpose and love their lives after loss.
