Mariandra Heunis

Mariandra Heunis My Life took a vicious turn the night my husband was brutally murdered in front of us. I had to LIVE, and make a GOOD life for our 4 little children. Day by day.

I am a mommy, deathcare specialist, Life coach and NLP practitioner. The life I knew and loved was brought to a shocking halt the night my husband was murdered in front of myself and my 3 little girls. I was 8 months pregnant with our fourth child; our son, at the time. What came after this, was a rapid series of life-altering decisions to be made in a short period of 2 weeks... And then to rebuild a new normal. I made the choice to live life fully, despite of what had happened - standing on every promise of hope. Making new memories and growing through the pain, tears, frustration and also the joy and blessings. I am grateful for how far we have come. And we are not done yet. In this tragedy is where I also found my calling. To assist other families in their darkest hour - when a loved one passes away. If I can’t be a light in the dark, I will sit with you in the dark for a moment. Because I understand. I offer personalized funeral services to each and every family. From the first call. With care and compassion. It is a sacred work. Step-by-step. As a value added service I also offer Grief counseling - not only to my clients, but whoever may be in need of such services. I have walked this path. And I have studied grief and trauma - and still do to expand the toolbox of techniques and knowledge ongoing. I am - the most powerful words. What you put after it, defines you. I am - Mariandra Heunis. I am changing, growing and making a difference. Where I am, with what I have. I am not just a widow, single mommy, deathcare specialist. I am so much more. With appearances on Kwela, Ontbytsake and various other alternative media channels - it is a privilege to share our journey AFTER. The beauty after the storm. We are still here.

Thank you, Jeff Moore

Exactly - use your imagination for the best outcome (even if it seems impossible - For with God all things are possible) - faith vs fear 🙌🏻

Vrees - die onderwerp wat op duik om ons tafel hierdie week.

Ek sê mos, ek leer steeds elke dag.

Wat ek hierdie week besef het:

🌼 Ek is presies waar ek nou moet wees
🌼 Ek is geroep, en juis vir 'n tyd soos hierdie
🌼 Vrees is die vyand se gunsteling gereedskap.
🌼 Ek glo in God se bevestigings. Ek het besef dat die vyand ook met sy eie bevestigings werk - om vrees of aan te wakker, of dit te versterk. Luister mooi. Kyk weer. Haal asem.
🌼 Soos 'n spesiale kliënt gister sê (om ons tafel) - God sê: "Moenie vrees nie" . Dit is nie 'n lukraak "quote" nie, dis 'n instruksie. Wat 365 keer in die Bybel voor kom. Een vir elke dag... Julle, hierdie ene het my geskud. Want ek het vergeet bietjie. 365 keer. Elke dag word ons herinner - moenie vrees nie. Want dis 'n instruksie. Dis 'n belofte. En dis 365 keer daar, vir 'n rede. Ons dae (en vrees) hardloop weg met ons elke dag en ons (ek) vergeet.

Bid groot. Sien waarvoor jy bid - visualiseer dit. Wees reeds dankbaar daarvoor. En beweeg vorentoe.

Dankie

It's Wednesday already - what if it turns out better than you imagined?

I have a choice every morning - I can imagine the worst case scenarios, or I can imagine the best outcomes. They both hold power in your mind, thoughts, words and actions.

I wish you a "what if it turns out better" week. Imagine the best, the beautiful and the blessed 🤍

Every single person has 'a story'. Once we start listening, we realize how connected we all really are.

There is so much power in the " but God" part. Every time. Every day

Some days I'm not sure how I will get through it, how to juggle all the balls in the air. The "how" is not up to us, is it? But God 🙌🏻🤍

We started eating dinner around the table, but the routine got lost a little over the holidays.

Eating together as a family brings something important into our home - togetherness, stability, and a part of our day to share. It's rarely ever peaceful - sitting at the head of our table and our household, I often play the part of mediator / bouncer. 4 Children - different personalities, ages, stages, emotions... Bickering, arguments and different opinions flying across the table at times 😉.

But first, we start with a quiet moment in prayer. We invite God to sit at our table, and into our home. Ironically, there is always the empty chair at our table - physically and in our hearts 😇

This year, I decided to set the table every night - to make it a special occasion daily. And every one gets a turn to set the table. It has become something to look forward to, and the children expressing their creativity in creating the most beautiful settings.

This was my little boy's creation last night. He wowed myself and his sisters - they are already planning their next table.

If you do everything as if it is a special occasion, life instantly becomes more precious. It's up to us to create these moments. It's the small things that matters most 🌺

Blessed. Yes we are 🤍

Amen 🤍 "Father, be my Fourth Man everyday"👏🏻

I am Mariandra Heunis

The life I knew and loved was brought to a shocking halt the night my husband was murdered in front of myself and my 3 little girls. I was 8 months pregnant with our fourth child; our son, at the time. What came after this, is our ‘new normal’. I made the choice to live despite of what had happened, standing on every promise of hope. Day by day. In this tragedy is where I also found my calling.

I offer personalized funeral services to each and every family. With care and compassion. It is a sacred work. Step-by-step.

I am also focused on inspirational speaking - I share my journey AFTER. The crazy, backwards-forwards path - always moving. It takes perseverance and grit to keep moving when you feel that you really can’t. But, you have that too!

I am - the most powerful words. What you put after it, defines you. I am - Mariandra Heunis. I am changing, growing and making a difference. Where I am, with what I have. I am not just a widow, single mommy, funeral director. I am so much more. But still figuring it all out. And that’s okay. It will be okay!
