“In grief, the first person you wish you could talk to is no longer alive. The second person to talk to is another who understands grief and wants to meet you right where you are.”
– David Kessler
Are you experiencing the loss of a loved one?
If your loved one is dying, or has died, my heart is with you. There is nothing that possibly could prepare you for this, and yet you’re now expected to take this painful journey, while continuing to live your own life.
If you’re experiencing the loss or impending loss of a child, my heart grieves for you. Children are not supposed to die…and yet they do. Your heart is broken. I’m here to help you remember that the grief for your child is as deep as your love is for them. Our fast paced world nudges you to move forward with your grief and on with your life. Listen to your heart. There is no timeline for grief, no right way to do it and no one grieves the same. Please take the time you need and offer yourself compassion as you grieve.
There are many journeys we travel during our lifetime, but a journey filled with heartache and pain is one of the most difficult to navigate.
However, your journey is eased when not travelled alone,
but with those who can support you along the way.
Grief Support
If you’re in the depth of grief, please know you’re not alone. Although your grief is painful, please know it will ease over time. You might be feeling that if you’re not in a perpetual state of grief, you won’t continue to honor your loved one. You will, but in a different way. You’ll get to a point where you’re not consumed by grief.
Grieving your loved one will be a part of your life, but not your whole life. When this occurs, you’re then able to love and honor your loved one, and continue living your own life. You learn to grieve and heal in a healthy manner.
There is no timeline for grief. Everyone grieves in their own time, and no one should feel rushed.
Having someone accompany you in your grief journey, helps you move through your pain and sadness, without getting stuck in grief.
Grief Companion and Guide
This is your personal journey, and one only you can travel however, this journey is a bit easier when you know you’re not alone. You no longer have to put on a good face and pretend you’re okay.
“It takes courage to grieve, to honor the pain we carry. We can grieve in tears or in meditative silence, in prayer or in song. In touching the pain of recent and long held grief, we come face to face with our genuine human vulnerability, with helplessness and hopelessness. These are the storm clouds of the heart.”
“Let the timeless wisdom within you carry you through grief and awaken a tender, open heart.”
Jack Cornfield
I’d love to be your grief guide and companion…you don’t have to do this alone.
Sometimes, we just want others to see us as we are. Some days we are not okay…we just need others to make space for that, and for us.
