From Mourning to Meaning The Path of Grief Redefined

Grief Sucks - Life After Loss

Grief is a voyage through the darkest of tunnels, where the light at the end is often imperceptible. Imagine navigating this path while striving to guide your family out of the shadows and into a life rebuilt on the foundation of loss. That's the harrowing and ultimately inspiring journey our guest Tonje shares with us, as she recounts the transformation sparked by the passing of her youngest daughter, leading to what she calls her "life 2.0." Her courage to embrace personal growth and happiness as a tribute to her daughter's memory is a powerful lesson in love, resilience, and the human spirit's capacity to heal.
Tonje, a coach, consultant, entrepreneur, and, most importantly, a mom and lifelong learner. Growing up as a tomboy and navigating male-dominated industries, she prided herself on her toughness, often keeping her emotions under wraps. Tonje always harbored a deep desire to help people but found it challenging to balance her tough exterior with the emotional aspects of support and empathy.
Everything changed for Tonje when she faced the heart-wrenching experience of losing her daughter. This tragedy shattered her reality and forced her to rebuild her life with a new perspective – one where being tough didn't mean hiding her emotions.
Today, Tonje is on a powerful mission: To equip 100 million people by 2040 with the emotional intelligence and resilient mindsets needed to create fulfilling lives. Her journey has transformed her approach to traditionally taboo subjects like death and grief, turning them into catalysts for meaningful conversations, stronger communities, and transformative personal growth.
Tonje is here to share this journey with others, to explore how we can support each other through life's toughest challenges, and to find strength and fulfillment in even the most difficult moments.
