Grieving is a Personal Journey
Everyone grieves differently, just as every loss we experience, we feel in a different way. Our Grief Journey is personal, and we must heal in a way that is authentic to our loss and yet feel supported when reaching out to heal in the collective.
It does not help us to heal in a way that simply serves to make someone else feel better. Yet we all experience those times when we cannot trust our own feelings and the landscape of our heart.
We do what others think is best for us.
I invite you to step into trusting yourself. I find I trust myself when I can honor my values. If I need silence, I try to seek it. If I need support, I try to reach out.
Our losses in life teach us more about ourselves. That is the sixth stage of grieving, when we move past acceptance to that unfamiliar place of making meaning from the loss.
My work is expansive with clients who suffer loss in many different ways., I hold no expectation except that I ask them to stay open to what lies ahead. Even in pain, we can all find meaning.
Pain is our teacher, our guide and our friend if we stay open to the journey walking beside pain in our lives.
This is true for any kind of healing after trauma, after a death, after a loss of your home, your job, your health or a community loss of some kind.
Trust yourself to heal and to know when to reach out.
I am always here for you. I have courses you can take and watch on your own with some workbook interaction. And I have a full program of support for over six months and I have individual sessions.
And the place where you should begin is right where you are now.
Move from your heart and trust yourself.
