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 lead grief support groups in Northern California and also work with people one-on-one.
Ten years ago, I suffered the loss of a husband to Alzheimer’s Disease. I was his primary caregiver and have a special affinity with those who suffer the many ambiguous losses accompanying a diagnosis of dementia.
After my husband’s death, I re-assessed my life and my priorities. I left my law career and trained as a spiritual director. For the past eight years, I have had the privilege of accompanying others on their unique spiritual journeys, most often meeting them once a month for an hour. It was my grief that led me to enter spiritual direction and I find that path to making meaning is not uncommon.
I live in California but my clients live all over the country, so I use Zoom.

When I lost my son, Joel, in 2017 to complications due to heroin/meth addiction, I entered a time of deep depression and utter hopelessness. When others tried to offer well-meaning support, they often tried to connect me with “their friend who lost their son in a car accident” or “someone whose child died after a tragic bout with cancer.”
It’s not the same.
There is a stigma associated with deaths of this kind and the judgment that says, “they did this to themselves” or a tendency to blame those who loved them. Those of us who have experienced this kind of loss understand there is no one-size-fits-all to working through grief.
Personalized Grief Support – Scheduled by you, on your timeline.
Some people prefer weekly “touchpoint” sessions, while for others, this is too much, too soon. You schedule your appointment via my personalized calendar. We will meet either by Zoom or, as many prefer, simply by phone.

The Koru Collective offers holistic, peer-to-peer online grief support on an individual basis, in small groups or through a monthly drop-in community circle. I also offer in-person workshops focusing on somatic practices and creating heart-centered tools for understanding and incorporating grief as we move forward in the wake of a loss.
The practice is rooted in the Koru Philosophy, Surrender, Trust, Do, which invites us to SURRENDER to our journey through grief, TRUST the process and DO for ourselves and others. The koru symbol represents the unfurling of a silver fern frond and the word represents new life, growth and perpetual motion. As we navigate our grief journey we are reminded to root into the earth and rise up to meet the light.
Together, we can create a sacred container to witness love, loss and grief. I would be honored to hold space for you and light the lantern that can bring you out of the darkness.
About Annemarie
Having experienced the tragic and personal loss of losing my love to mental illness in 2016, I embarked on a spiritual path to help me navigate the deep waters of my grief. I turned my pain into purpose and began helping others through their own journey through grief by sharing resources and spiritual tools and reframing grief as, simply, another expression of love. After some repeated nudges and whispers from the Universe, I could no longer ignore my soul’s calling to help others as a Grief Guide and I founded The Koru Collective in 2022.

David Kessler – Certified Grief Educator (graduated 11/2021)
ID #: 105877
Services Offered
I offer private individual grief support sessions and/or group sessions (via zoom).
multiple losses ~ loss of a parent ~ loss of a sibling ~ sudden loss ~ traumatic loss ~ divorce
For most of my life I felt a calling to encourage and support others in their times of need.
In 2008, I tragically lost 9 close family members on Christmas Eve. My experience of multiple-family loss, grief, and healing transformed my life in many ways. It brought me to a place of trusting my inner wisdom and faith and believing that the love that bonded me to my loved ones who passed would actually be the love that would push me forward.
In 2021 I received my Grief Educator Certification from grief expert, David Kessler’s first GE class. It has been an honor to help and walk with people through their grief and healing journeys. My goal as a grief educator is to continue to offer the emotional support, resources, and guidance to those in search of encouragement, hope and healing through the bereavement process.
Please feel free to call or email me with any questions or if you’d like to setup a free consultation to learn more about my services. (626) 344-0559 – leticia@leticiashope.com
