Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Lawrence-Jeatter.
Hi Brittany , so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
From Loss to Legacy: Why I Wrote Grieve Good: A Millennials Guide to Understanding and Coping with Grief
I never expected to lose one of my closest friends so soon.
Grief didn’t come with instructions—just silence, exhaustion, and the weight of pretending I was okay. I kept showing up for life while quietly falling apart. And like so many millennials, I didn’t feel like I had permission to pause.
But in that pain, something shifted.
I realized grief doesn’t need to be hidden. It needs to be held.
Grieve Good was born out of that truth. It’s more than a book—it’s a voice for every millennial who’s ever been told to “just keep going.” It’s a space to validate your feelings, honor your story, and rebuild your life with compassion.
Starting Grieve Good Grief Coaching was my way of turning personal loss into communal healing.
Because we don’t just need sympathy—we need support, education, and safe places to grieve out loud.
This isn’t about getting over it. It’s about grieving good.
Whatever that looks like for you, you’re not alone anymore.
When I lost my best friend, I was forever changed.
Grief cracked me open—but the world expected me to keep going. I knew what it meant to hurt in silence, to show up with a smile, and to hustle through heartbreak. And I knew I wasn’t the only one.
That loss ignited something deeper in me.
It called me to do more than survive—it called me to serve.
Becoming a Certified Grief Coach, Life Coach, and Licensed Funeral Director wasn’t just about credentials. It was about purpose. I wanted to walk with people—not just at the funeral, but in the days, months, and years after the flowers fade. I wanted to help others make meaning from the pain, to find language for what they were feeling, and to remind them that healing is not weakness—it’s sacred work.
That’s why I created Grieve Good.
That’s why I wrote Healing While Hustling.
Because grief deserves space in real life—not just behind closed doors.
My mission is to help millennials and communities of color grieve with dignity, truth, and support.
You don’t have to pretend you’re okay anymore. You just have to start where you are.
And I’ll walk with you.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The Truth Behind the Pages
Writing these books wasn’t easy—because I wasn’t okay when I started.
Grief hit me harder than I was prepared for. I lost someone I loved deeply, and with that loss came waves I couldn’t control: sadness, anger, confusion, numbness, exhaustion. I tried to push through like I always had—but this time, I couldn’t.
I had to seek therapy.
I had to say out loud that I wasn’t okay.
I was diagnosed with a mental health condition that I had silently carried for years.
And I had to take several medications just to stabilize my mind while my heart kept breaking.
It was hard. It was humbling. But it was healing.
Through that process, I realized: we don’t talk about this enough—especially in communities of color. Especially as millennials. Especially when we’re high-functioning, overachieving, caregiving, grieving in motion.
So I kept writing.
Grieve Good was my way of telling the truth about loss.
Healing While Hustling was my way of offering the journal I wish I had when I was barely holding it together.
This isn’t a story of perfection—it’s a story of survival, surrender, and choosing to heal out loud.
If you’re reading this, please know:
You don’t have to carry it alone.
Your feelings are valid.
And asking for help is a form of strength, not shame.
This is for the version of me who broke down so the rest of me could break through.
And it’s for you—because healing doesn’t have to be silent anymore.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Local Grief Coach Turns Personal Loss into Purposeful Healing for Millennials and Communities of Color
Dr. Brittany Lawrence-Jeatter, a Certified Grief Coach, Life Coach, and Licensed Funeral Director, is transforming the way we talk about—and heal from—grief. As the founder of Grieve Good Grief Coaching, she is leading a movement that prioritizes culturally responsive, emotionally honest, and spiritually grounded support for those who are grieving while still juggling everyday life.
Inspired by the devastating loss of her best friend, Dr. Brittany launched her grief coaching business alongside two powerful books: Grieve Good and her newly released guided journal Healing While Hustling: A Grief Journal for the Generation That Can’t Pause. These works are aimed at millennials and communities of color who often feel unseen in traditional grief spaces.
What sets Grieve Good apart is its bold approach:
Rooted in personal experience and professional insight
Designed specifically for people who are grieving while still surviving
Centered on compassion, mental health advocacy, and breaking generational silence around loss
Whether coaching one-on-one, leading healing circles, or providing education through her books, Dr. Brittany is on a mission to help others not just “move on,” but move through grief with dignity, truth, and support.
How do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy isn’t just writing books or coaching clients—it’s witnessing transformation.
It’s when someone opens up during a session and says, “I didn’t know I was allowed to feel this way.”
It’s when a reader messages me to say, “Your book made me cry—and then breathe.”
It’s watching someone realize they’re not broken—they’re just grieving, and that grief deserves space.
I’m happiest when I see people begin to soften toward themselves.
When they stop rushing their healing.
When they find the words for something they thought only they were feeling.
Helping others navigate grief makes me happy because I know what it feels like to carry pain silently.
And now, I get to help people give that pain a voice—and a path forward.
That’s not just a job. That’s a calling.
And there’s no greater joy than walking someone from survival to self-compassion.
