Grief is an intensely personal experience, and it is never the same for any two people; even two people grieving the same loss. Some abide by the commonly known Stages of Grief, while those stages are recognizable, I believe the process is not linear, and any stage can be experienced at any time. Completely accepting people wherever they are in the grieving process prevents the expectation of a grieving in a certain order. My approach is to show compassion, emphasize self-care, and to provide a safe place and plenty of opportunity for self-expression. The creation of memory/legacy pieces in the form of songs, poems, and/or visual arts is an option when appropriate.

Grieving is not something to overcome, rather to be respected. It is the careful and essential process toward healing; toward finding acceptance and understanding. It can’t be rushed, but it can be directed. Through compassion and therapeutic guidance, grief can do its work effectively. Profound changes in our lives can be daunting. Despite years of experience, I am humbled by those in grief. Grieving is complicated. The boundaries of pain reach beyond sadness, loss, and adjustment, often to unfinished business, guilt, and anger. It seems unimaginable, but with guidance, fragmented emotions can find balance again. Life will find its way.

Loses happen in our life. The most common response to the significant loss is grief. We all have been there and not just once. Unfortunately, many of us were not prepared for the stress and sadness of loss and did ‘not know how to go through grieving, and what to do to cope with it. At the same time, the science of Psychology developed coping methods and tools that can provide relief and help you get back on your feet. It is not necessary to experience this alone, take the opportunity to come and learn the arsenal of tools under my guidance and support to begin the journey of recovery. We cannot eliminate loses from our life, but we can reduce its negative impact and promote healing.

Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt.
