Heidi Dunstan

Certified Grief Educator, Speaker & 4X International Best-Selling Author

Heidi Dunstan is a Certified Grief Educator, international speaker, widow, and 4X international best-selling author who is changing the way we talk about loss and legacy.

After losing her husband, Mike, unexpectedly, Heidi discovered firsthand how unprepared our world is to handle grief. Well-meaning friends and family often said things that hurt more than they helped, and she quickly realized that judgment and silence are grief’s greatest barriers.

Today, Heidi helps communities, organizations, and individuals learn how to hold space for grief with compassion—free from judgment—and how to keep legacies alive through stories, memories, and love.

Through her authentic storytelling, Heidi empowers others to replace silence with presence, judgment with empathy, and fear with connection. Her work reminds us that grief is not something to be fixed—it is something to be honoured.
