Uplifting Grief is a compassionate, faith-centered presentation by Dr. Katie Eastman that guides participants through the sacred work of navigating loss with hope, resilience, and spiritual grounding. Rooted in Christian wisdom, emotional understanding, and Dr. Katie’s Re-Create Model, this presentation shows how grief—when held in God’s light—can become a pathway to deeper compassion, renewed purpose, and spiritual transformation.
Through prayer, storytelling, reflection, and practical spiritual tools, participants learn to:
• See grief as a holy journey
• Recognize both tangible and intangible losses.
• Honor their emotions as forms of prayer.
• Understand the spiritual needs of the grieving.
• Move through the Re-Create steps of healing with God’s guidance.
• Embrace the sacred liminal spaces between endings and beginnings.
• Lean on community and cultural strengths for shared healing.
Uplifting Grief invites individuals and communities to let pain open the door to compassion, connection, and God’s renewing grace.
About Dr Katie Eastman
Dr. Katie Eastman, Psy.D., LICSW, is a psychotherapist, master grief coach, and compassionate change consultant with more than 40 years of experience guiding individuals, families, and communities through loss, transition, and spiritual renewal.
Her work is deeply shaped by her early training in pastoral psychology at Boston University School of Theology, where she explored the intersection of Christian theology, spiritual formation, and emotional healing. This foundation continues to anchor her approach today—integrating faith, psychology, and compassionate presence. During seminary, she studied how grief, suffering, and human vulnerability open pathways to grace and transformation, shaping the spiritual roots of her lifelong mission.
Dr. Katie later earned her Doctorate in Clinical Child Psychology, blending pastoral care with evidence-based approaches to grief, trauma, and life transitions. Throughout her career as a clinician, hospice counselor, medical social worker, chaplain, coach, and global educator, she has drawn upon her spiritual training to help others experience God’s comfort, clarity, and renewal during seasons of loss.
Mentored by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Dr. Katie developed her RE-CREATE model, a spiritually grounded and practical framework for transforming grief into purpose, compassion, and growth. Her teaching emphasizes that grief is not a sign of weak faith, but faith in the act of transformation—a belief she has carried from her early pastoral studies into every setting she serves.
Dr. Katie is the author of Uplifting: Inspiring Stories of Loss, Change, and Growth, the co-author of the bestselling Percolate: Let Your Best Self Filter Through, and the co-author of The Peace Guidebook: How to Cultivate Hope, Healing, and Harmony for All Humanity. She presents internationally on spirituality, grief, compassionate leadership, and healing, helping people discover that even in sorrow, God is creating something new.
