Hi, I'm Kenzie

Hey, my name is McKenzie Mott and I am the bereavement doula of Creative Ways to Grieve.

Bereavement Doulas support parents and families through the grieving process after the death of their child.

Here you can grieve with me with one on one support. Together we share stories, create with our heads, hearts and hands, and find peace in what you are feeling & experiencing. We will design a daily rhythm that works for you, and find resources for you and your your family so you can grow and thrive with each other. You are so resilient, let’s do this together.

A little bit about me:

My son Theo died in 2019 when he was 6 months old of Congenital Heart Defects. My hubby and Theo’s older brother have been beside me, living and grieving with me through it all. I can’t even begin to describe to you how much I miss my little Theodorosaurus, my sunshine boy, my heart warrior. I have also had 3 miscarriages since he died, my beautiful unknowns. In the middle of all of my pain, I birthed the sweetest living Rainbow baby boy. I have created this site and all that is included here for angel parents, friends of angels, and family of angels. We are all in this together and I hope you find ways to creatively grieve throughout your life. You never have to stop grieving. I know I never will.

To me, grief is love that you can’t physically give.

Life is weird isn’t it? There are so many things that happen to us, so many trials that lead us to where we are. I have had a good share of trials in my life that have lead up to this point and I have learned so much from them. There is one trial that I want to learn deeply from; and it is this; my son died…. my beautiful baby boy. So what will my life look like now? Who will I become, and how can I find space to help others? I couldn’t find the support I so desperately wanted so I decided to create this space to grieve and share with others and here I am! I hope you find joy in this journey with me. 

There is nothing wrong with you.

You are just human trying to process unimaginably painful events.

You are not broken.

You are grieving.
