Rising With Grief: How Kelci Jager Transformed Pain Into Purpose

My guest today is Kelci Jager. Kelci Jager is a certified life coach, grief and loss coach, registered nurse, and the founder of RISE with Grief. As a widow and mother of four sons, Kelci brings deep personal understanding and professional expertise to the work she does supporting others through grief, healing, and personal transformation. Kelci is also the author of the bestselling memoir A Million Miracles and The One That Never Came, a powerful and intimate account of her family's journey through trauma, illness, and loss. Told through raw personal journal entries, the book explores the complexities of love, faith, grief, and resilience. It’s not just a story of survival—it’s a story of what it means to keep going when life breaks your heart, and how to find meaning again. Whether she’s working one-on-one with a grieving client, leading workshops, or speaking to audiences, Kelci’s message is clear: healing is possible. And even in the darkest seasons of life, there is still hope, still purpose, and still light to be found. In this episode we discuss loss, grief. motherhood, trauma, grief coaching and rise with grief.
