Do you feel stuck in your grief, or like you are not making progress as fast as you'd like?
Grief can rearrange your life, your priorities, your interests, your relationships and so many other things. When my son, Matthew unexpectedly died almost 10 years ago, I spent several years being heartbroken, overwhelmed and disoriented by daily life. Therapy helped me get back on my feet and heal from the trauma, but I still felt like I was just surviving. I was exhausted by all the energy it takes to keep up with day-to-day stuff. I felt overwhelmed, disappointed and unsure about my life and my future. I desperately wanted to find someone who understood my pain and could help me navigate the challenges I was facing.
I realized I couldn’t do this on my own, because if I could I would have already done it. I needed help. I reached out to a Life Coach who I had worked with in the past. She listened to me, she witnessed my grief and acknowledged my heartache. She met me where I was, and didn’t try to fix me. Instead, she gave me the insight, guidance and encouragement I needed to support me in taking steps towards creating a path forward. My coach helped me break down my challenges and helped me figure out what steps I could take because I now had tools and skills to help me deal with them. I learned how to work through my grief, my self-doubt and intense emotions.
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by my grief and heartache, I learned how to navigate the thoughts, feelings and emotions that accompany it. Instead of constantly feeling discouraged and disappointed with my life, I slowly began to experience moments of joy and happiness again because I learned how to allow my pain and joy to coexist. I began to allow myself to experience the intense heartache of missing Matthew while also allowing myself to experience the joy of seeing my younger son, Luke, do things Matthew would never have the chance to. I also learned how to tap into my inner strength and resilience to handle the ups and downs of everyday life. Instead of feeling confused and unsure about life, I began to create a clear vision for my life. I want you to know and experience this for yourself.

“Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love. ”
“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not “get over” the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same. Nor would you want to! ”
