Our lives are filled with grief related to death, loss, life changes and transitions, yet we live in a grief-illiterate culture that wants to bypass pain at all costs, leaving us unprepared to navigate grief when we experience it. When looked at through the lens of loss, many emotional states that plague us – anxiety, depression, trauma – can be tied to unresolved grief in our lives. Healing comes from allowing ourselves to grieve all our losses in order to reshape ourselves and our lives.
Julie Kays established Elegy Counseling to help those experiencing loss wrestle with suffering in order to work through their grief; to engage in community dialogue to normalize grief as part of the human experience; and to foster the deep soul work necessary to fully integrate loss into our lives.
Are you or your family hurting and don’t know where to start? Are you facing life transitions that seem overwhelming? Have you experienced a recent loss or accumulated losses throughout life that you need to process? Reach out to someone who understands the grief of loss and can help you find a way through the pain.
