You feel so alone
Everyone else keeps living, as if nothing happened.
But you simply can’t.
Sleepless nights
Most nights you wake up around 2 or 3 AM, searching for answers… maybe even for yourself.
A hole in your heart
You feel like a part of you is missing. There is a giant hole in your heart that will never close.
After loss
The nights are the hardest. You wake at 3 AM with your heart racing, your mind spinning. You lie there in the dark, missing them so much it physically hurts. The ache sits in your chest like a stone.
During the day, there's a fog. You can't focus on anything. Books sit unread—you get to the end of a page and realize you absorbed nothing.
Conversations drift past you.Someone asks you a question and you forget what they said mid-sentence.
You forget everything. Where you put your keys. Appointments you made yesterday. Names of people you've known for years. It's frightening.
You wonder if you're losing yourself.? How do I honor what was while somehow, impossibly, continuing to exist?
Simple tasks feel impossible. Organizing anything—your calendar, your home, your thoughts—takes energy you don't have. Bills pile up. Emails go unanswered. You can't seem to make decisions about anything.
You feel profoundly alone. Even when people try to help, even when they say kind things, no one really understands. They want you to "move on" or "be strong" or "find closure." But you don't want to move on. You don't know how to move forward at all.
And underneath it all, there's this question: How do I live now? How do I find meaning again
"I felt so alone, even though people were trying to help. No one understood. Mieke understands it all to well. And through the painting, I found a way to connect with myself again—the part of me that was still here, still alive, still worthy of beauty."
— ISABELLE M, BELGIUM
Navigating loss of a partner
"Everyone kept telling me to 'move on' and 'be strong.' Mieke's approach was different—she gave me permission to be exactly where I was. The painting became a conversation with my husband. while painting, I could really feel him here close to me."
— MARIA, PORTUGAL
Widow
"I couldn't read anymore. Couldn't focus on anything. My brain was just fog. But I could move a brush. I could watch color spread on paper. It was the first thing that made sense in six months."
— SOPHIE L., BELGIUM
Navigating divorce and identity loss
You know you're at a crossroads
Something in you wants to ask the real questions:
Who am I really?
What do I still want from this life?
You may not have the answers yet,
but you already know what no longer fits,
the pretending, the perfectionism
the overgiving, the pleasing
the life that doesn’t feel true anymore.
You've tried to think and talk your way out of it.
But maybe it’s time to do things differently.
To let your heart and intuition speak.
This is where The Art of Living After Loss begins.
You don't need talk therapy
Maybe, somewhere deep inside, you long to feel free and alive again,
to wake up with a sense of meaning and purpose.
You don’t need another theory or talk therapy session.
What you need is time for yourself.
Time to breathe, to nourish your soul, and to remember who you truly are.
The Art of Living After Loss is a one-hour creative session where you’ll paint, reflect, and reconnect with your own truth.
No art experience is needed whatsoever, only a willingness to feel, to explore, and to let life speak through color and form.
Hi, I'm Mieke,
I know this landscape of loss — and the long journey of finding my way back to life after my son died in 2019 — all too well.
My name is Mieke Fleurackers, and I’m an artist, spiritual alchemist, medium, and mentor.
Through my own path of trying to find purpose again after loss, I discovered the alchemical power of creativity and how painting and connecting with spirit can help us remember the deeper truth of who we are, and what we came here to do.
Today, I guide other women through this same process of transformation and healing.
The Art of Living After Loss is a one-hour portal into that journey, a first step to reconnect with your own essence and the life that’s waiting to be lived in truth.
My hope for you is that you, too, will begin to see that there is life after loss, even if, for now, you cannot yet see what it looks like.
Let me help you take this first step, together.💜

The beauty of Kintsugi
In Japan, there is an ancient art called kintsugi — the practice of mending broken pottery with gold.
Instead of hiding the cracks, they are filled and illuminated,
because the break is part of the story, not a flaw to erase.
That’s the spirit behind The Art of Living After Loss.
Through color, reflection, and creativity,
you begin to mend the invisible cracks within yourself
by painting and honoring who you are becoming, despite feeling broken.
What women are saying:
I didn’t expect a one-hour session to move me this deeply.
When I started painting, I felt all the emotions I’d been holding finally flow out of me.
For the first time in months, I felt peaceful, closer to my mom, but also to myself.

I thought I had to fix myself before I could feel creative again.
But this hour reminded me that creation is healing.
Mieke’s voice and guidance felt safe and grounding.
The exercise gave me a clear sense of where I am in my life and that it’s okay to be in transition.

Everything felt uncertain before I started this.
I didn’t even know what I was feeling, only that something had to change.
Through the painting, I saw how much light was still inside me.
This session was the first real exhale in a long time.
