I see you and I hear you. I cannot fix you, but I can hold space for you.
When my daughter died, I didn’t see any way possible that I could go on… we don’t get “over” it But we will get through it.
You might not believe it right now, but trust me
We CAN find meaning in the most tragic losses.
I took this course for me… And for you and for anyone who needs a listening ear and some support.
I’ve learned so much and I have resources to share. Please feel free to contact me.!
