Forbidden Grief

A judgment-free program for moms whose child died in a way that triggers shame — such as while committing a crime, or by suicide, or in any other challenging way

We support moms in moving through grief and shame … in this sacred space filled with hope and love. 🤍

Born From a Traumatic, Life-Changing Experience

At about 1 a.m. on July 4, 2022, Miguel Garcia walked down the hall and fatally stabbed his sleeping father, Hector Garcia.

Miguel then attempted to break into a neighbor’s house, knowing full well that his neighbor was a former Marine. The neighbor shot and killed Miguel.

In that one night, Certified Angel Coach™ Delores Garcia lost both her son and her former husband.

This program has been born from that incomprehensible event … and from all the grief, pain and shame that followed.

Delores Garcia says:

“I don’t know how I would have made it through this time without Sue Elliott and the Angels.

“That’s why we created this program, Forbidden Grief: to bring the Angels’ gentle, loving guidance and support to other moms who are hurting.”

  • Explore the complexity of your unique experiences

  • Receive the Angels’ gentle, loving guidance and support

  • Feel ALL your feelings

  • Release the “shoulds” that keep you stuck in your grief (or unable to show it)

  • Get past the guilt and shame

  • Dissolve the thoughts that plague you, like “shoulda woulda coulda” and “what if…?”

Working with the Angels, we create a Safe and Sacred Space to help you:

With the Angels’ help, you truly can find peace and hope.

We’ll create a space in which you’re able to love your child as deeply and profoundly as your heart yearns to—even if society says your child is “shameful” and “unlovable.”

Together, we can heal the “mother wound.”

  • Private Angel Coaching

    Work directly with Delores, Sue and the Angels (these 60-minute Zoom sessions are recorded so you can listen again and again)
