Capture your loved one's essence

What if you could write a truly meaningful obituary,

AND help heal the void in your heart?

Introducing The Healing Obituary™ workshop, the only online class created by a professional writer and former teacher, based on years of in-person seminar instruction.

Our proven, step-by-step formula takes you from the blank page to a shareable, viral-worthy written obituary for your loved one, featuring the healing interview, a process that allows the healing journey to begin for all involved.


Finally, a user-friendly, empathetic writing system that works, even if:

  • you're overwhelmed with no idea how to start
  • you don’t know what to include in the obituary
  • you don’t think you’re a writer

And yes...especially if you want to capture the qualities and quirks that made your loved one unique.

“The obituary workshop was probably the most meaningful part of all the funeral process for me. I actually got to sit down for a couple hours and think about how Cathy should be remembered."

"I was able to think about what made my sweetheart special. I was able to put his life down on paper for others to remember."

"It really was a healing experience for me and I highly recommend that everyone spend the few hours it takes to write an authentic obituary.”

Your past few days have been traumatic. You are physically and emotionally exhausted.


You must make a mountain of decisions in a short time.


Now, you’re tasked with writing your loved one’s obituary.


And you know the written life story will be most meaningful to you and others if you share it before the funeral.

At the end of The Healing Obituary™ workshop, you'll have produced a detailed, meaningful obituary that you can share before the funeral.

A well-written memorial captures your loved one’s essence, and can begin the healing journey for you and your group.

“I didn’t know how much emotion I would have writing Dad’s obituary, but wow! Going through the Healing Obituary process kickstarted my healing."

"I laughed, I cried, I grew as a person, just by remembering her in the context of writing her last memoir on a page.”

"I'm so happy that I was able to truly show who Mom was, instead of just sharing a bland obituary.”

If you follow our process, writing an obituary can bring you peace and healing.

Traditional biographical obituaries were popularized after the U.S. Civil War, in the 1860s, to only include statistical data and to notify the community of the funeral services in newspapers.


The biographical obituary is bland and outdated, and doesn’t capture details about your unique loved one.


Your loved one deserves more. Way more.

There’s a better way, and it’s The Healing Obituary™.

The Healing Obituary™ workshop gives you and your group a chance to immediately reflect on the person you’ve lost, and this starts your healing journey.


A Healing Obituary™ includes biographical information, but that information is not the focal point. Rather, a Healing Obituary focuses on stories and details that capture your loved one’s unique essence.

Create an obituary that makes people say, “Wow, I wish I’d known her.”

Hi, I’m Kitty Sheehan, teacher, writer, and the creator of The Healing Obituary™ workshop.

I’ve personally experienced grief in my life, and understand the importance of truly capturing a life story, no matter the circumstances. I’ve learned what makes obituaries meaningful and memorable, and I’ve honed in on a process that truly helps the living heal.


A meaningful obituary has 3 characteristics:

1.

It truly captures your loved one's essence and unique life story.

2.

It helps you and your family begin the healing process.

3.

Everyone who reads will relate and reflect on their own life.

I would be honored to help you write an authentic story about your loved one, a story that is read over and over again, and a story that is cherished by you and your family.

The Healing Obituary™ workshop is a carefully designed series of steps I’ll guide you through, via pre-recorded videos.

It’s fast — the workshop focuses only on the most meaningful obituary components in 4 easy steps. Most people finish the workshop with a written obituary in 3-4 hours of work.


It’s practical — you won’t spend days learning what makes a great obituary. The workshop includes worksheets, tools, and curated examples that bring results each step of the way.
