*Please note that I can only send and receive texts to and from Canadian phone numbers. If you do not have a Canadian number, I am happy to chat via Simbi message also.

Loss and grief are incredibly hard, whether the loss is of a loved one or of a loved home. During these difficult times, most people don't want advice—they want practical support, or at the very least, a listening ear. I am willing to be that non-judgmental safe space for anyone who just needs to talk about what's weighing them down.

While it's difficult for me to provide tangible support from afar, I can offer that "listening ear" via text or Simbi messages.

I can receive unlimited texts from Canada, so please text me anytime if you just need to vent or express your feelings. I'll be that nonjudgmental listening ear, and simply acknowledge that I've received your message and that I am thinking of you (and praying for you, if you so request).

If you do not have a Canadian phone number, I can also provide this service via Simbi messages.

Training & Qualifications


I have lost friends and family members to accidents and illness. I understand that sometimes, all you need to do is talk about your grief. I understand that in North America, we have a difficult relationship with grief, and that this makes it harder for the bereaved to express their emotions in public.

I wrote something about this here: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/grief-weve-got-it-all-wrong_b_582b473de4b0466f4579313f

Availability & Preferences


Please text or message me anytime. I'm in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. Please note that it may take me a day or two to get back to you, but rest assured I will respond.

Trading Preference: Pay it forward – pass on the good deed!

About Mariana Abeid-McDougall

𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥/𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: * I do not under any circumstances promote MLM products; please do not request my services for this. * I am on Simbi to barter. Please do... not contact me with the intent of funneling me to your paid products. ___ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗲 I'm an experienced freelance writer and editor who loves to meet people, barter, and help others. I'm also an avid traveller, a happily married wife since 2006, and a homeschooling mother of three children born in 2010, 2012, and 2014. I have an extensive background in various fields, as I have been working since 1997 in various jobs, often simultaneously. I have been a lifeguard, an adult swimming lessons instructor, a retail sales clerk, a call centre operator, a teacher, a Registered Kinesiologist, a personal trainer, a writer, an editor, and the list goes on. I also served 7 years in the Canadian Naval Reserves as a military clerk. Aside from my professional experience, my travel experience is also extensive. I've lived in 3 different countries, and our family has had the chance to do some wonderful travelling. Before we had children, my husband and I toured for 2 months around Canada and the US, sightseeing during the day and swing dancing at night (swing dancing is how we met). We cycled 557 kilometers with our kiddos when they were 6, 4, and 2. And we spent 9 months between 2018 and 2019 travelling in an RV all over the US and Canada. I'm interested in a variety of things, and my services on here reflect that. If you've ever heard the term "renaissance soul," "multipotentialite," or "scanner," that's me. I hope that you'll find a service that'll be useful to you among my offerings, and I look forward to trading with you.show more
