1:1 Grief Coaching

Grief Hits hard

At some point or another, we will all experience grief in some shape or form. Grief shapes our lives in some of the most beautiful ways. We all suffer with loss even before we are conscious of the concept of loss. We grieve while leaving the safety of our mother’s womb. Losing a favorite toy to another toddler, we cry. Our first heartbreak is viscerally painful. Being denied from our school of choice, being laid off from a job we loved, the loss of our childhood pet and all those after, miscarriages, abortions, divorces, the death of a loved one - we cry; we mourn; we grieve; we love again.

There is no wrong way to grieve; however, we all deserve support and guidance to validate the anticipation of loss, the pain of loss, and the discovery of the wisdom we gain from loss. I would be honored to have the privilege of helping you grieve well.

Your grief journey is yours

If you are interested in grief coaching, you lead this journey. I will invest my time in learning about you so that you can teach me how best I might offer support. You will show me the path and I will hold your had as you walk it. You can expect that part of the process might include:

  • Lots of gentle questions so I can learn about your grief and life experiences that inform your grief journey

  • Grief can often be fueled based on our demographic backgrounds. Being part of the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, Person of Color), LGBTQ2S+, disabled, veteran, and/or any other disenfranchised demographic often comes with first-hand and generational trauma that become increasingly poignant through our grief. I’m here for it.

  • Resource referrals (grief coaching is not a substitute licensed mental health therapy or psychiatry) - leave it to me to do the research to help you find the right grief therapist, support group, psychiatrist, club, gathering, book, and/or everything in between if that might be helpful

  • An ongoing grief companion with a listening ear - we can meet virtually or in - person and I am happy to sit in silence, provide a shoulder to cry on, or find productive and healthy activities for the days when you just “can’t” with your grief

  • Occasional check-ins, with your consent, outside of our sessions

  • Session scheduling at your convenience and recurring appointment options

Your investment towards grieving well

All perspective clients receive a 30 minute free phone or Google Meet consultation. I encourage you to come with questions regarding my background and approach to grief coaching. If either of us find that we may not be a good fit, I am happy to provide referrals. It is important that you feel safe with the person accepting the privilege of offer guidance to you through your unique grief journey.
