Welcome!

My name is Christina Sgambato, and, among the many roles I’ve played in this life, on December 24th, 2019, I became a young widow and solo parent. Since then I’ve dug more into grief than I ever thought possible, or really ever wanted to understand. I’ve learned to respect my loss and my feelings about my loss; I’ve learned to allow all of the feelings, even the messy ones; I’ve learned that in order to move forward, I don’t need to move on. I’ve learned that my love for Matt will always be at the core of who I am, and with that, I can grow, love, and reconstruct a life I honestly want to live. I’ve learned that my story is not done evolving and that more “best days” are in front of me.  And now, I’m here to help others who have loved and lost, move into the future they truly want for themselves. 

As a Certified Life Coach through the Life Coach school, I’ve helped people through countless roadblocks, in a variety of situations, including those who have loved and lost a partner and/or relationship. It’s amazing what magic can happen when we get outside our own brains and re-establish our own power. Some of the struggles my clients may face include, but aren’t limited to: 

• Feeling a loss of identity and sense of self
• A lack of self-confidence and belief 
• Insecurity and overwhelm around dating again 
• Difficulty in relationships with others
• Financial overwhelm 
• Solo parent struggles
• Fear and lonliness 
• …the list goes on.

Moving Forward When You’ve Loved and Lost

Learning how to move forward following the loss of a partner takes time, patience, and space. It comes with acknowledging the reality of the situation, honoring it, and believing in yourself enough to know that there is more out there for you. Trust me, it took a long time for me believe that I could possibly be a young widow AND that it isn’t all of who I am. Prior to finding my own coach, I was convinced that my best days were behind me. I believed that life would be mediocre at best because a big part of me felt lost the day Matt died.

If you’re reading this, you may be a fellow widow or widower; you may be grieving another type of loss; you may be a friend of a griever; or, you may be a friend, family member, or person that, at one point or another, played an intricate part in my life. However you happened upon my site, I’m glad you’re here.

We need to start being more transparent about grief and loss because unfortunately, for all of us, it is inevitable. If you are looking to understand how talk about grief, how to reconstruct life after loss, and how to grow by integrating love and loss into your journey forward, then you’re in the right spot.

I can’t tell you that everything will be “ok.” What I can tell you is:

* Your “best days” aren’t behind you.

* Loss of a person and/or relationship is hard. You can do hard things.

*You have the power over your book and your story.

*You decide how your love and your loss integrates with your journey forward.

Above all, you are not alone. I’m here for you and, you my friend, will push forward with fire in your soul.
