Meet us
Stephanie Carter and Jennifer Handt
We’re Stephanie Carter and Jennifer Handt—business partners turned foxhole friends after back-to-back life upheavals redefined everything. In 2020, Jennifer’s young son was diagnosed with a rare, fatal disease. In 2022, Stephanie’s husband, Ash Carter, suddenly passed away. But along the way, we realized something bigger: not all losses are headline-worthy, but they all deserve recognition.
At A Loss was born from that truth. We cover the full spectrum of loss—catastrophic, subtle, and everything in between. Job changes, identity shifts, infertility, pet loss, pandemic fallout—if it changed your life, it counts.
Through our weekly newsletter and forthcoming book, At A Loss: Your Playbook for Moving Forward When Loss Sets You Back we help readers name their losses, reset expectations, and take small, meaningful steps forward. No platitudes, no pity—just a real-world guide to facing what’s gone and finding what’s next.
We’re not therapists- we’re fellow travelers. And we believe everyone deserves a loss sherpa.
