Grief and Loss

Every day is hard…

You feel heavy, weighed down with memories, stories that you want to share about all the things that feel so important, the things you never want to forget…

People say that time will heal this, but you know they’re wrong.

This hole in your heart will never get smaller.

The ache goes on and on.

Hey, I see you. I want you to know that I see how badly it hurts.

You’re right. The hole that loss created in your heart will never get smaller…

And yet, there is hope.

Because, with time and help, you will grow bigger around it. There will be more and more of you as time passes, and one day that hole will not be all-consuming.

Let’s talk about that journey.

Despite the efforts of well-meaning friends and family, you’ve felt alone.

This path is your own. It’s neither straight, nor obvious.

Your grief is a measure of how deeply you loved, how strongly you felt, how much you’d committed yourself and your heart.

There’s nothing to get over, to let go of, to move on from.

If those were the answers, you wouldn’t be here… hurting still.

Someone wise once said that grieving is the process of telling the stories.

Through the process of sharing your stories and feelings, we’ll find a path all your own through the shrouded forest of grief and back into the sunlit days where you thrive.

There are so many kinds of losses we sustain in life. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a friendship, a marriage, a pet, or even a job, learning to live and thrive again is important.

Honor all that was, in a way that is sacred.

Come sit with me and honor all your stories. Allow the many feelings to wash through you – weep, rage, beg, laugh, let yourself hold your loved one tight for as long as you need to make peace.

Doing so will help create the path forward one step at a time.
