Life, Grief & Co.
Life, Grief & Co. was born from Kristen and KB seeing a need and wanting to feel it. They have both gone through their own personal journeys with grief & mental health and want to use those experiences to support others. Kristen and KB met when they began working together in the Organ, Tissue & Eye Donation field as Family Services Coordinators. Their passion for supporting donor families and mental health instantly bonded them. They started with social media pages to spread the word about grief, mental health, donation, etc. and has grown to be something so much more. We love being able to talk openly and give people a safe space to be open and honest about their experiences.
It would be our honor to be able use our skills, knowledge, passion, and personal experiences to support you, your family, or your business. Below there is a “Contact Us” section where you can ask questions or at the top, there is a “Book Now” button where you can schedule a free consultation to see how we can work together for any of your needs, both personal and profession.
We can’t wait to talk to you soon.

Certified Grief Counselor.
KB is a Certified Grief Counselor and has spent the last eight years working in crisis intervention, suicide prevention, grief counseling and as a grief educator. KB got her start in the mental health field after experiencing a loss thousands of miles away from her support system. After digging herself out of this dark space she never wanted anyone to feel alone when going through a crisis and began volunteering at a crisis center, providing help to those in crisis and having suicidal ideations. This experience then led her into the organ donation career field where she took her crisis interventionist skills and used them in hospitals to provide hope to families who wanted a light at the end of a tragic loss by saying yes to organ, tissue and eye donation. KB currently works as a Family Aftercare Coordinator at an organ procurement organization.
KB’s specialities include: working with teenagers and adults in crisis and educating their support system on ways to help the person in crisis, knowledge of organ/tissue/eye donation, complex grief that follows a loved one being an organ donor, healthcare workers experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, experience as a military spouse, motherhood, divorce, miscarriage.
