Grief Support From Someone Who Has Walked This Road
When the tragedy of loss happens, you are forever and PROFOUNDLY CHANGED. Receive the support that you need from others on the same journey.
I HAVE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE AND WILL COMPASSIONATELY HELP YOU TO ...
- Connect with others experiencing the same loss. Too often, our relatives and friends just don't understand the depths of our pain.
- Explore all facets of grief so that we can connect more deeply to ourselves and to others and create a path to peace.
- Get the compassion and support that you need and know that you are not alone. We will support each other as we all navigate the rocky terrain of grief together.
- Allow yourself to release the suffering and remember with more love than pain. Our meeting will be real-talk that goes beyond the platitudes so you can get to a point of true healing.
- Let go of guilt, blame & the what-ifs.
- Understand your own unique grieving path. Grief can be isolating. This forum allows you to share your thoughts and get the support you need to heal.
- Witness and honor your own grief
- Move forward in a way that honors your loved one
Workshops and Seminars:
For more than twenty years, I've been writing, speaking, lecturing, and helping students, counselors, and others. By utilizing counseling and mental health strategies to help people, I provide practical life-enhancing tools, motivation, and steps towards a fulfilled, joyous life. Now, I am moving into a new adventure to use these skills to help other widows and widowers going through the painful journey of living without the their other half.
Self-Care: Taking Care of You
Stress is an integral part of the grief experience. This session will identify the specific stressors of your unique grief as we all grieve differently, discuss ways to prevent stress and show ways to take care of yourself.
Planning For Your Own Loved Ones
This experience has taught me how important Bob's planning for my future was. So, this session will focus on the importance of a living will, life insurance, and estate planning.
Grief Box Strategies and Tools
This session will focus on meditation and breathing, bibliotherapy and many other strategies and tools to sit with your grief long enough to heal but not long enough to fall victim to it.
Simply Living After Loss
As we move through the ebb and flow of living without our soulmate, just moving throughout our days sometimes feels like work. This session will focus on taking that next step and using time to intentionally work through the pain.
Realizing Your Strength
In order to relieve themselves of the discomfort that is grief, so many keep telling us that we're strong. This session focuses on using that strength for good (even though we never really wanted to be this strong).
Personalized Coaching Sessions
We will craft workshops and sessions specific to your needs. Simply contact us.
... And More
We continue to build programs as needed by schools and districts, so offerings continue to build.
The point is to do the work of grief!
In Fall and Winter 2020, it felt as if just getting out of bed was an accomplishment. My world had completely crumbled, but the earth kept spinning on its axis and people carried about their daily routine as if nothing had happened.
And, it appeared that others felt as if I should get about the business of "moving on" at a faster rate. But, it had only been days and weeks. It took me a while to learn that baby steps are fine. And, it's even okay to dance a bit - go forward, then back, etc.
Just keep moving!
