It's exhausting to carry loss and
still be expected to function as if nothing has changed.

You're back at work. Parenting. Caring for others. Keeping up with schedules, household tasks, and life. A year after the loss of your loved one, the stress and shock may have softened, but the grief is still exhausting.

“You get to a point where you're so tired of feeling so miserable all the time.”

“Everybody asks how my kids are doing, but nobody asked how I'm doing.”

"You mention your loved one and people either change the conversation or don't acknowledge it, and it makes you feel worse."

"Not doing anything was only taking me to a really dark place."

The journey is long. Growth After Loss™ is here for your whole life after loss, beyond the first year of grief.

We don’t move on from loss. But we can learn to carry it.

Growth After Loss™ supports you with small, purposeful steps as you carry your loss and build your life back—by tending to your heart, your needs, and your loved ones.

Wherever you are today, there is a gentle place to begin.

MEET DR. MARI | PHD, MBA

Hi, I’m Dr. Mari Marquez—a researcher, educator, and mother who has lived through profound loss.

In 2018, within the span of one year, I lost my father, my husband, and a child through miscarriage. While caring for my young child, I found myself trying to navigate a life I no longer recognized. I knew I wanted to build a different future for my daughter, but I did not yet know how to find my way forward.

That experience led me back to school to better understand how people adapt, rebuild, and grow after traumatic loss.

Growth After Loss grew from both research and real life. It is grounded in the Five Pillars of Growth After Loss™—a practical, research-informed approach that supports people as they care for themselves, navigate hard days, rebuild agency in daily life, and continue honoring the love and legacy of the person they carry with them.

READ DR. MARI'S STORY

“If you’re tired of trying to figure this out alone, there is help.
You can take the first steps to build a life
that honors your loved one, makes space for your needs,
and creates a brighter future for you and those you hold dear.”
— Dr. Mari Marquez
