If you’re doing everything you can to hold it all together while experiencing grief, you’re not alone. Grief has a way of touching every part of our lives. Some days you may feel overwhelmed with sadness, anger or guilt. Others you may feel relieved, numb or worn out from trying to manage it all. There might be part of you that feels your loved ones don’t truly understand what you’re going through, leaving you to deal with all your feelings and emotions on your own. Whether you are preparing for a loss, grieving someone you cared for, or holding onto grief that feels invisible or complicated, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
I offer a space to truly exhale — where you can speak honestly and don’t have to put on a brave face. Together we’ll gently explore your unique goals and find strategies to help you cope and move forward at your own pace, all while honouring the person/future you’ve lost. My goal is not to fix your grief, but to walk beside you with curiosity and compassion.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply needing a supportive space to talk, I encourage you to call or email me. Taking this first step can be hard and even a little scary, so when you’re ready, I’m here.
