Has someone you love died? Has a significant relationship come to an end? Have you lost your adored pet? Is the future you imagined for yourself no longer possible? Are you caring for someone with a terminal illness? I can help you with the painful human emotions around grief and loss. With my own losses, and experience with Griefline, I provide a space where you can talk about whatever is on your mind, free from judgement. Grief is as individual as our fingerprint and sometimes family and friends just don't understand. Talking about your grief helps.
With a Grief Educator Certification, I'll listen to your story and help you understand your grief reactions. Together, we will find ways to honor your loss and create meaningful connections.
I'm glad you're here and considering support. Because everyone's grief experience is individual, you may be judging yourself, thinking you aren't reacting normally, because your grief is different to those around you. I can help you.

Mostly I will just listen. Your grief needs to be witnessed and you need to be heard. I will also provide guidance around understanding your grief reactions. Just by talking, and having the space to express your grief fully, you will find your grief journey to be a little easier.
