I am Cathy Carphin, writer, poet, facilitator, mentor, Grief Educator, Life Coach 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 care manager and 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 – one who is a holder of history and wisdom. It is my privilege to support those who did not ask for nor initiate their own grief journey.
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.
