Bereavement Support and Grief & Education:
Dana is a Certified Grief Educator (CGE).  She brings David Kessler’s unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to her work in helping people navigate the challenges of grief. Her sensitivity and compassion for those bereaved stems from her personal experience with loss and grief. While she understands that everyone’s journey is unique, the empathy she holds stems from her real life experiences with tragic and traumatic deaths of loved ones, as well as personal losses not associated with death. She combines her depth of understanding with an evidence-based, trauma-informed approach to working with her clients–individually and/or in groups.

Ravenyard Group works with clients who are dealing with grief related to a personal or professional crisis or loss.

I am Cathy Carphin, writer, poet, facilitator, mentor, Grief Educator and Healing Trauma presenter of polyvagal practices. I have experienced the ups and downs of life including the trauma of a cancer diagnosis and treatment, being a home caregiver for my husband who had cognitive impairment due to stroke, his death, the isolation of COVID, my decision to retire and a motor vehicle accident.

My joy has been to receive counseling through my grief, to understand how these experiences impacted my internal wellbeing, to integrate these disruptions in my world, find purpose again and share my learnings with you.

I have been named Elder by my communities – a holder of history and wisdom. It is my privilege to support those who did not ask for nor initiate walking a similar path.

I facilitate…..

Group discussion on grief, trauma, loss : understand the process; support others in grief – in person groups

Managing Our Stress – understanding the Central Nervous System, focusing on polyvagal theory practices; in person and on line groups

And mentor….

Private, individual support in understanding and moving through the grieving process – on line

It is difficult to go through grief on our own; there are many resources on line and hopefully in your community. And it is often easier to know that many others have gone through and are going through the same experiences as you are. Often it helps to talk one on one with someone who understands and can help make sense of the impact on your life.

Hello,

I am a loving, optimistic and heartbroken bereaved parent. Since 2018, I have been navigating grief as a result of losing a child. One step at a time I have managed to rise through the pain and face each day. Through patience, being kind to myself, being witnessed, accepting love and support, and expressing my feelings I have learned to remember with more love than pain.

Having been a health and wellness professional for more than twenty years, I understand the importance of addressing the emotional, mental, and physical aspects of healing.

I offer:

Safe spaces to express profound emotional pain

Physical movement techniques to ease muscular tension

Nutritional guidance

Private peer-to-peer support (in person and via telehealth)

Peer to Peer Grief Support Coaching
Certified Grief Educator & Moderator
Infertility & Pregnancy Loss Support
End of Life Doula

I am a grief doula providing peer to peer grief support. After leaving my corporate job I moved to Europe and lived in Germany and Switzerland while becoming a 500hour yoga teacher. I taught in several studios in Bern until my life changed suddenly when my husband was diagnosed with brain cancer at 36 years of age. I became his full time carer until his death in 2020.

As my husband died during my child bearing years, I realise that I would not have biological children in this lifetime. In more recent years when I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant, I was thrown into the world of motherhood and possibility. Unfortunately, I suffered a missed miscarriage, which lead to expectant management and a D&C. After losing my husband and baby I have found purpose in being of service to others.

During my husband’s illness I explored many spiritual concepts and teachings. After his death I have studied a range of different topics to equip myself to serve others who find themselves facing a terminal illness, as carers, or in grief.

I hold space for those currently in liminal space whether that is due to a death, divorce, separation, pet loss, miscarriage and any other loss. Holding space for the little losses as well as those that change our lives in every way possible. I will sit in the rubble with you and hopefully we can start rebuilding together when you are ready.

All sessions are currently held online.
