105949 – Grief Educator Certificate.
Services Offered
Childhood was tough (ACE score of 7). But nothing prepared me for the loss of my daughter. April 18, 2017, I became a bereaved parent and life has never been the same. It’s a lot of work, but you can find joy and meaning and live a full life. I belong to a bereaved mom’s group and have walked along with others through this journey. When I lost my daughter, I quickly learned that people don’t know what to say or how to act. We are their worst fear. I have over 30 years experience in social services was shocked at the things that were said. I recently completed the Grief Educator Certificate Program led by David Kessler. It was life changing. This is where I am meant to be. Do you need someone to help you understand grief, the stages, the mess and that everything you are feeling is normal?
Do you prefer in person? Virtual? Either works for me.
