Welcome to my journaling and death work.
Reach out with any questions — evapberezovsky@gmail.com.

I support people of all ages in building a curious, creative relationship with death, grief, and life. My work is rooted in the belief that facing mortality doesn’t have to happen alone or solely in response to crisis — and that our connections to self, others, and the world become richer when we wonder about our mortality and grief.

From a journaling workshop

offering: guided journaling

What

Meet with me for compassionately guided journaling sessions where I provide prompts, cue writing time, and invite optional sharing. This offering does not require any journaling experience or focus on your output and its quality.

Prompts are custom to you and themed around whatever’s on your heart related to death, grief, or life. Topic possibilities are endless, but we can explore questions like:

How do I feel about (my) mortality?
How do I want to be remembered?
What’s important to me in this life?
What have I learned from my grief?
How did a loved one’s death impact me?
How can I feel connected to a loved one who has died?

How

Virtual
1:1 or groups
Free consultations available
Email me to book or for more information
Book as a one-off or recurring series

Why

To me, the journal is a private haven where we can freely explore — and simply be with — what we’re carrying. It invites uninhibited curiosity and release as a nonjudgmental companion to hold whatever needs holding. I adore facilitating this companionship and helping others step into the journal’s potential as a container for heaviness.

offering: legacy projects

What

Work with me to create a legacy project: a creative document that captures your life story or that of a loved one. These offer a deeply meaningful way to process and/or memorialize, whether you’re seeking to create a leave-behind for loved ones, or craft something primarily for yourself.

Format is entirely tailored to you, and legacy projects can be created while the subject is still living or retrospectively, after they have died. We can land on a format together if helpful, and the possibilities are vast, but some examples include:

Oral history
Legacy letters
Ethical wills
Living funerals
Recipe books
Book of quotes
Voicemail archive

How

Virtual

Free consultations available

I can help with brainstorming, planning, and/or executing — open to being as hands-on or hands-off as you wish

Why

The mere experience of working on a legacy project can foster profound reflection and healing. Beyond process, though, assembling a tangible legacy document honors the singularity and impact of one’s life. Leave-behind legacy projects also bring great comfort to grieving loved ones.

Anyone who’s grieved before knows that it’s not just someone’s general persona or major accomplishments that are missed after death. It’s the mundane intricacies of their presence, too. The fragrance they wore, the way they took their coffee, the way they pronounced that word. Legacy projects provide an opportunity to remember it all.

into the journal

My appreciation for journaling also informs Into the Journal, an interview project that I edit and share on Substack. It examines how and why people journal, because no two practices are identical. Peruse here.
