A community dedicated to navigating grief and finding transformation after loss. Created by Manoela Santos—author, artist, and facilitator—these offerings are here to support you on your journey.
After navigating the profound loss of my husband, I created Kismetology and the Grief to Growth Course as a guiding light for others on their own grief journeys.
This 28-day experience is deeply rooted in my personal understanding of grief and the transformative power of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). Each day, you'll receive thoughtful prompts designed to help you process your emotions and discover pathways to growth. This course offers a safe and compassionate space to express yourself and explore your unique grief in a creative way.
For 28 days, receive daily Grief and Growth prompts directly in your inbox, filled with: inspirations, meditations, coping mechanisms, and art healing tips.
These resources are designed to support you as you compassionately integrate all aspects of yourself throughout your grief and healing process, incorporating spirituality, science, and ART!
Remember, grief is a deeply personal journey. The way we heal and cope is unique to each of us. Please know, you are not alone in this.

My Story
Kismetology was created in response to sudden loss.
After becoming a young widow and single mother, I experienced firsthand how isolating grief can be—especially when the loss is unexpected.
What was missing was a place to land: something steady, honest, and supportive.
This work was born from that absence.
Kismetology offers a gentle, grounded approach to navigating grief, designed especially for those facing sudden loss. The course and creative practices here are meant to support you as you process your experience at your own pace, in a space that feels safe and respectful.
This is what I wish had existed when my world changed.
Everything shared here is offered with care, intention, and deep respect for the grief you carry. You are not here by accident.
With love and gratitude,
Manoela
