About
Heidi Dunstan
Certified Grief Educator, Speaker & 5X International Best-Selling Author
Heidi Dunstan is a Certified Grief Educator, international speaker, widow, and 5X 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 speaks to organizations, conferences, educators and communities about grief, connection and legacy. She helps people understand what to say, what not to say, how to hold space without judgment, and how keeping stories and legacies alive can change the way we experience grief.
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.
