Grief Companion

I hold space for individual and collective grief, transition and healing during and/or after the death of a loved one.

I do not see grief as something that needs to be cured but a normal and transformative process that we will all experience. I see the denial of our grief as a barrier to truly experiencing life and love.

I offer support and listen without the goal of fixing your grief. Grief companioning is a way of describing my role in holding space for your unique experience and process through this grieving. When asked, I share my own experiences of integrating my grief, I listen, share resources and show up in the way you need.

My grief work is influenced by the writing of Francis Weller, Joanne Cacciatore and has grown so much by the work of by Lama Rod Owens. Also by my own experience of grief and the peer support that I have been involved in.
