I am a mommy, deathcare specialist, Life coach and NLP practitioner. The life I knew and loved was brought to a shocking halt the night my husband was murdered in front of myself and my 3 little girls. I was 8 months pregnant with our fourth child; our son, at the time. What came after this, was a rapid series of life-altering decisions to be made in a short period of 2 weeks... And then to rebuil
d a new normal. I made the choice to live life fully, despite of what had happened - standing on every promise of hope. Making new memories and growing through the pain, tears, frustration and also the joy and blessings. I am grateful for how far we have come. And we are not done yet. In this tragedy is where I also found my calling. To assist other families in their darkest hour - when a loved one passes away. If I can’t be a light in the dark, I will sit with you in the dark for a moment. Because I understand. I offer personalized funeral services to each and every family. From the first call. With care and compassion. It is a sacred work. Step-by-step. As a value added service I also offer Grief counseling - not only to my clients, but whoever may be in need of such services. I have walked this path. And I have studied grief and trauma - and still do to expand the toolbox of techniques and knowledge ongoing. I am - the most powerful words. What you put after it, defines you. I am - Mariandra Heunis. I am changing, growing and making a difference. Where I am, with what I have. I am not just a widow, single mommy, deathcare specialist. I am so much more. With appearances on Kwela, Ontbytsake and various other alternative media channels - it is a privilege to share our journey AFTER. The beauty after the storm. We are still here.
