About Catherine McNulty
After losing her infant son in 2011, Catherine embarked on a journey to do more than survive grief. The loss forever changed the trajectory of her life and sent her looking for meaning and purpose for the life she was given. She channeled the love for her son into her own healing, self-growth and personal empowerment.
Today, she has created a framework to grief that disrupts conventional ways of looking at loss. She challenges her clients to step outside of a victim mindset and regain control of how they navigate grief. She teaches how to grow through grief and encourages speaking openly about grief to break down the walls of silence around grief.
Catherine lives in San Diego with her family where she speaks, writes, and offers coaching to those who want to do more than just survive grief.

Sibling loss is overlooked and it makes grieving harder because most people don’t understand it. In many ways we are overlooked….

[@AnaKarinaCourt]

That's true. People have told me that it can't be the same that losing a parent, and it can't hurt that much. People always asks about my parents and that's nice, but it seems like after 3 months, to them I should be fine but I'm not. I miss my brother every single day. I still can't believe he isn't here anymore.

[@steveparker2938]

Spot on ! My husband of 21 years died 7 months ago and I'm now at the point in the grieving process/ rebuilding stage of trying to find out who I am as a one instead of as a two. A bit scary. When this all began I read, and heard people telling me I will be changed because of his death. I felt no reason to doubt this but I didn't expect to change in the way I did. Small things like not getting mad in traffic, not being frustrated if dropped something with my hands full. I don't know, it's a bit hard to explain but I becoming a nicer person. I wasn't a bad one but I'm different now. More tolerant I guess. I'm just not letting things bother me as much or at all. I've rediscovered my love of landscaping which is good because I sold our well landscaped house and yard and moved into a new one with zero landscaping. Getting dirty is rewarding again. I've also begun seeing a therapist for the first time in my life and it's good, for me it's good. I miss my husband and I do have my weepy days but now the memories are happier ones and not ones of grieving the fact I will not make more with him. I see old pictures and can think, "Boy, didn't we have fun there!" and I'm so thankful for the time we had. I'm still learning to be one like with cooking, grocery shopping, bill paying and finances, but it's ok, I'm learning. I am going to honor my husband by choosing to live my best life. He would be so very, very angry if all I did was sit around and grieve all day and for years on end.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

Hi! I love everything about your message here. Thank you for sharing so much with me. I always laugh when I say I am a far nicer person than I was before my loss! It's so true. I think it has a lot of do with redefining what we value so the less important things tend to hold less prevelance. Please send me an email @ griefinspired.com. I'd love to talk about this more. Any chance you'd do a joint video with me?

[@lynny5510]

The same thing has happened to me. My husband passed away Nov 2021. I find that now I don't get as upset about those little things. I think it is because I have realized the hard way that none of that other stuff really matters. What really mattered was the love my husband and I shared and the time we had together. I took that for granted and now I see so clearly that these things I use to fret over or get upset about are literally nothing. What really mattered is sadly now gone. My husband was so laid back and never got upset. He would always tell me not to worry and everything is going to be alright. I can still hear his words in my heart everyday. And he was right. So now I am going to try to live in a way to show him that I get it now.

[@suzanneconner8056]

My husband passed away three weeks ago and the feeling of loneliness and sadness has hit me like waves. I love the thought of remaking my life and dealing with the loss.

You are the only one that I listened to the whole podcast you are the only one that I even wanted to hear what you had to say because you were making so much sense. Grief is hard but I'm trying so hard to get over grieving I know I should be over it by now it's been 6 years since I lost my son and it seems like it was yesterday because every time I try not to cry something just makes me cry even if I'm watching a good movie on TV all of a sudden I'm crying and don't even know why but I do miss my son and I don't know how to stop missing him. I keep saying maybe one day he'll come walking through the door because someone lied to me he's really not gone they were just trying to fool me but I know that's unreal he's been gone for 6 years and I haven't seen or heard from him I haven't even dreamed about it and that's what hurt I love him and I don't know what to do without him I don't do anything that I used to do anymore I was so outgoing always doing something or going somewhere but I can't even make myself go anywhere anymore. But I still have faith in God that he will work with me and get me through all of this someday but it was really nice listening to you today but I know I'm still not there just saying.

It sounds like we have a lot in common. I too lost a son and have a surviving son still with me though he is changed. I have even written 2 books about reinventing your life after loss. Losing my son was actually the second time I had to reinvent my life as fifteen years earlier I lost everyone and everything else following a NDE due to an abusive husband. It was the perfect storm ant totally devastating, and afterward life as I knew it was over. Losing a child when you have no family support is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, but it certainly leaves you with the knowledge of your own strength.

I was in Mexico 11 days ago and woke 3am which would of been 10am in the UK where my father is. I felt this soft pink euphoric cloud above my head like i was floating it was pure ecstasy. I got out of bed at 7am and got the dreading call of my sister that she had found Dad dead. She text him at 9am he replid she text him at 11am no reply. I believe when i woke at 3am Mexico time so 10am UK time that is what time Dad departed he come into my bedroom in Mexico to let me no he was leaving. What is this thatnhappened to me ? I returnd to Wales a few days later and tomorrow i want to go and see him in the morgue. The day Dad went his next door neighbour said his kitchen lights were flashing and flickering for hours.

[@paulbooyse1347]

@nintendy can you get a cat? A Manx cat if you can afford it and if you can afford to feed it. And they certainly need a friend fellow/cat. Loneliness is devastating.

[@kerryfoster1]

Some great advice here. Doing new things or more of things you didn't do enough of before is a marvellous way forward. Find a new and positive path and help others. Share the fundamental sadness with positivity and love. People will respond well to your honesty.

Thank you so much for sharing your own story. For inspiring us to be happy again. Encouraging us. I may not be where you are yet in my grief but I am trying and I will continue to live each day trying to embrace the special moments now! The journal is on my Christmas list because I love to write to my daughter and knowing the journal will be for her daughter also. God bless you ♡

[@Daisy14]

I believe the is a lesson for us to learn by our love ones death. God always gives a blessing once we go through a life changing trial. It's up to us to discover it. I think for me it is to let go of the pain of watching my husband die a slow painful death. Celebrate his life and our life together. I need to enjoy my life moving forward. I will never forget him. I am his witness of his life. Be kind to yourself in your greif. Remember all the pain heartaches is behind our love one. Don't care it forward.Nicole

😢 I lost my husband 4days ago I don't know if I can go without him

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

Hi Joanne. Your fear is normal and justified. Give yourself time and know that you don’t have to figure it all out at once. Prioritization is key. You can do this!

[@juvel852]

My friend who classed me as her daughter told everyone i was her daughter and I classed her as my mum only died 4 days ago 😢we were together 24 7 and I'm grieving for her I heard my mum's voice I have contacted crusebereavement and they have sent me email and told me to watch these videos as well itry to keep busy trying not to think about it to much

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I'm not familiar with cruse bereavement but grief is a process that we need to lean into. Videos help!

Thank you so much. I'm always looking for more ways to help...would love your ideas!

I lost my mom recently: How do you deal with life when nothing matters any more. I feel useless, worthless and see no direction to my life , I see no happiness, and feel Miserable. I wish I was like my siblings (one of them doesn’t even want to talk about Mom. It’s not his way of dealing with grief. He just doesn’t care)

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I know this feeling well. It tells me how much you love your mom and what a big part of your life she was. Since she was such a big part of your purpose, it makes sense that you feel lost. Your job, as you grieve, will be to evaluate your entire life and look for only the things that have meaning. Eliminate anything that doesn’t. It is a process. You can do it on your own or I can help

[@juvel852]

Thank you for doing this video as it was very informative for me as thats all ive got is sadness 😢 for my mum but listening to you has made me feel a little lighter but i will buy your book from amazon as well

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I'm so glad the video helps! Grief is a process...I help.

I lost my Mum unexpectedly last week it such a shock I was the who had to ring round her brothers and sister to tell them there sister had died but worst of all I had to ring my sister to her Mum had died

Thank you for your video… Onésimo of the Most inspiring and sensemaking words I ve heard since a monte Ago I unexpectedly lost my Partner of 38 years … It is so hard to imagine a life without him… we had three sons, two grandchildren and so many plans for the years to come , as we still considered as “young” and visionary people. I am so broken by his loss even if I try not to show my sons too much and how much , because they are so helpless as how to help , lost in their own grieving. If you have q course or something I d be interested because I feel I need the company of others.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

My next course starts August 5th. Email me at [e-mail] for details!

I disagree. There is NO FEAR, but a huge hole (Void) that is hard to fill. If we all had the ways, means, and courage to deal with grief. It would be a much better world.
