GRIEF AND LOSS
Grieving with Hope
Moving forward through Grief, Day-by-Day
Did you know that, according to the Holmes-Rahe Stress Scale, there are 43 life events that are most liable to create feelings of grief, and in turn cause illness and other health-related problems? And, did you know that unresolved grief can present as depression and anxiety?
In addition to being certified as a Certified Professional Life Coach, I am also certified as a Grief Recovery Method Specialist and an IFC Certified Graduate of the Grief to Gratitude Program.
Whether you want specialized grief coaching for a specific loss or if the feelings of grief evolve in a personal coaching session, I have the tools and resources to help you move forward from these normal feelings of grief.
-
"I just don't see a way out of this empty feeling."
-
"They were my everything. I lost a part of me."
-
"I miss my mom."
-
"How will I manage the bills, upkeep the house, pay taxes.
-
"That wasn't my role."
-
"I am having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning."
-
"My purpose and light are gone."
-
It's been five years since he died and I am still so very lost"
If grieving the loss of a loved one, together we will:
-
Accept the fragility of life and the reality of death. Take time to talk and grieve. Be able to honor the life and continue the legacy of your loved one.
-
Begin blending old routines, habits, and traditions with newer ones to create a renewed awareness of self.
-
Accept the continuance of your own life and take action to embrace your future.
-
Move forward beyond the grief and create and enjoy a fulfilled life of love and gratitude.
If feelings of grief have surfaced for another reason, together we will:
-
Identify and accept the feelings of grief. Knowledge is power.
-
Realize that you do not need a fix or cure, as grief is a normal reaction to any loss
-
Use a loss graph to become aware of your feelings
-
Accept the continuance of your own life and take action to embrace your future.
-
Decide to move forward and say yes to all that is waiting for you.
I work with individuals and groups in my office, on the phone, or via web based conferencing.
Let's get started! I look forward to hearing from you.
