Over time, grief coaching can help you:
✨Give yourself permission to grieve in your own way, without judgment
✨Feel supported as you figure out what matters now and what comes next
✨Find clarity and confidence in making everyday decisions
✨Step into a new normal that honours your loss and embraces the life you still have
✨Reconnect with your sense of self, with kindness and care
If this sounds like the kind of support you’ve been needing…
Are you ready to start moving through your grief?
Are you ready to choose to live your life?
Are you ready to accept Gratitude for the life you have now?
Would you like to work with me?
If so, it's time to explore your unique situation and how we can open up the possibilities of moving forward, despite your loss. Instead of holding your grief inside, pretending to be ‘fine’, you’ll give yourself permission to grieve.
Showing your grief outwardly is called mourning, and as you openly express your feelings, you’ll start to feel the softening of your grief. It will be a journey of self-discovery. Because life is different, you are different after loss. It will be a time of reconnecting with what you want to do next, with what brings meaning to you now, and finding ways to let joy back into your heart.
It is by doing the grief work that you are able to acknowledge your loss fully, express your feelings fully, and get back to life… fully.
