A soft place to land with your grief.

Why listen to me

Trained to help. Lived it too.

Most people who teach about grief have studied it. I have studied it and lived it.

I walked beside my daughter Harper through cancer treatment. I lost her on October 31, 2025. I know the 2 a.m. kind of grief because I live it too.

Take one slow breath with the circle.

Hi, I'm Niki

A mom who has been there.

Harper's Heart Press is named for my daughter, Harper, who passed away on October 31, 2025.

After losing her, I looked for something that didn't rush me, fix me or tell me how to feel. I read everything I could find about grief. I'm now a certified grief educator. I lead The Ugly Cry Club. Everything I make is written the way I wish someone had spoken to me: gently, honestly and without a timeline.
