At some point in everyone’s life, there will be grief or a loss of some kind – the grief we experience after the death of a loved one – even the loss of a dear animal companion leaves an indelible mark on our souls. Grief can also be complicated by trauma or complications surrounding the death. These losses can be devastating, the burden too difficult to carry on our own. I use gentle companionship, education, poetry, and mindfulness to provide a healing and supportive environment for your pain.
Moving “toward” your grief may be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. You don’t ever “get over” grief. Contrary to what others might tell you [or want for you], in time, you will find solace as the grief finds its rightful place within you. Trust me. You will heal and find a new rhythm with grief as a gentle companion.
Grief counseling can give you hope in times of despair and pain. I’d like to accompany you on this grief walk so that you feel supported and learn to trust that healing is, indeed, possible. Grief is not meant to be experienced alone.
