A Gentle Guide to Grief and Healing
Grief doesn't follow a timeline. This compassionate guide meets you exactly where you are, offering research-backed support, guided audio exercises, and gentle practices for the moments when words fail and the weight feels unbearable.
If you're here, you're probably feeling some of these things right now:
"Some days I can barely get out of bed. Other days I feel okay, and then I feel guilty for feeling okay."
"People keep telling me it gets easier, but they don't understand. I don't want to 'move on.' I want to feel connected."
"I feel like I'm going crazy. I keep thinking I see them. I hear their voice. Is this normal?"
"The what-ifs are eating me alive. I can't stop replaying everything I should have said or done."
These feelings are not a sign that something is wrong with you.
They are a sign that you loved deeply.
Through the Fog doesn't tell you how to grieve or promise to "fix" you. It simply walks beside you, offering understanding, tools, and permission to feel whatever you feel.
Grounded in grief neuroscience, attachment theory, and the Dual Process Model of bereavement.
No stages to complete. No timeline to follow. Take what serves you and leave what doesn't.
Written with warmth and understanding, like having a wise friend who truly gets it.
Audio exercises for acute moments, worksheets for processing, and rituals for remembering.

"I lost my mother six months ago, and nothing has helped until this guide. The chapter on guilt finally gave me permission to stop torturing myself. The audio exercises have become my lifeline."
"This isn't just another grief book. It's like having someone sit with you who truly understands. The worksheets helped me process feelings I didn't even know how to name."
"I keep coming back to the 'Still Here' audio when I feel disconnected from everything. It gently brings me back. This guide is a true companion through the fog."
Through the Fog was created by Nouriam, a mental health resource platform dedicated to providing compassionate, research-backed support for life's most challenging moments. We believe that everyone deserves access to thoughtful guidance that meets them where they are, without judgment, without timelines, and without the pressure to "move on."
This guide draws from the work of leading grief researchers including Mary-Frances O'Connor (neuroscience of grief), Margaret Stroebe and Henk Schut (Dual Process Model), Dennis Klass (Continuing Bonds), J. William Worden (Tasks of Mourning), and Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory). It is written with deep respect for the diversity of grief experiences.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve. We meet you exactly where you are.
Grounded in the latest grief research and neuroscience.
Digital delivery means you can access support whenever you need it.
This guide is for anyone navigating the loss of someone they love, whether the loss is recent or happened years ago. It's designed to be non-prescriptive, meaning you can take what serves you and leave what doesn't. If you're looking for a compassionate companion rather than a "how-to" manual, this guide is for you.
The ebook is available in both PDF and EPUB formats, so you can read it on any device. The worksheets come as separate, printer-friendly PDFs. Audio files are high-quality MP3s that work on any device.
This guide is a supportive resource, not a replacement for professional mental health care. If you're experiencing prolonged, complicated grief or thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to a qualified therapist or counselor. The crisis resources section of the guide includes helpful contacts.
The four guided audio exercises range from 5-8 minutes each. They're designed to be short enough to use during acute grief moments while still being effective. You can listen as many times as you need.
We'd love for you to gift this to someone who needs it. You can purchase a separate copy for them, or contact us about group pricing if you're supporting multiple people through loss.
We offer a 30-day, no-questions-asked refund policy. If this guide doesn't serve you, simply email us and we'll process your refund. Grief is hard enough; we don't want financial worry to be part of it.
Immediately after purchase, you'll receive an email with download links for all materials. You'll also have access to your files through your account dashboard. Everything is yours to keep forever.
