K.M. McArthur

K.M. McArthur is the founder of Lumerita, a grief-alchemy creative studio offering gentle, non-clinical companions, practices, and spaces for embodied grief, empowerment, and ritual-rich becoming.

Her work centers the lived experience of grief as it moves through daily life — the quiet disorientation, the shifts in routine, and the enduring bonds that remain after love changes form. Through short companions, embodied practices, and reflective resources, she offers steady presence for experiences that are often minimized or misunderstood.

She is the author of The Holding Days series, created from the recognition that the earliest days after the loss of an animal companion can feel uniquely disorienting — especially for the person who carried daily care and devotion. Her writing affirms animal loss as real attachment loss and offers language and companionship for those moving through it.
