Grief and Joy Coexist 💚 Where stories, healing, and reflection meet 💚 Words that meet you where you are. 💚
Calm Water Writing was created from lived experience with grief and the belief that words can give us a place to hold what we're carrying. Through books, journaling, grief support, and meaningful conversation, you'll find resources to meet you where you are—while leaving room for joy, connection, and whatever comes next.

Hi, I’m Emilie.
I'm a widow, an author, and a grief guide.
Calm Water Writing grew from the resources, conversations, and stories I wished I'd had while navigating my own grief. My work is rooted in lived experience and one simple belief: grief and joy don't have to be opposites.
There is room for both.
