GRIEF CERTIFIED PEER-TO-PEER
How to Find the Right Grief Certified Support
We suggest you start with a phone call. Let them know you found them through grief.com.
Ask them about their style.
Tell them briefly about you.
They may or you may ask to start with an initial meeting. In person is the best way to assess if you are a match.
Make sure you discuss fees, before you begin, so there is clarity.

I teach Writing Through Grief, an expressive writing workshop. Since 2016, I’ve taught Writing Through Grief at various organizations including: The University of Utah’s Lifelong Learning and Osher Programs, Jewish Family Service of Utah, The Transplant Games of America, and Art Access. Currently, all classes are held via Zoom.
Writing can help guide us toward a deeper understanding of the pain and suffering of loss. Whatever the reason for grieving–death of a loved one, the pandemic, divorce, illness, job loss–this workshop is designed to provide a supportive environment for participants to explore and honor all feelings of grief. Writing prompts and short readings will offer new ways to express thoughts. Putting pen to paper gives us the opportunity to change perspective and transform suffering into healing. One optional goal of the class is to write a personal essay. All writing levels are welcome and no writing experience is necessary. Please keep in mind this is not group therapy.
