Grief Support
When someone you love dies, it can be hard to understand your often complex and painful thoughts and feelings. As a compassionate guide, Elizabeth will help you to travel the normal and necessary journey we call grief.
Other situations of loss also involve grieving. Grief coaching can be the helpful tool that one can use to come to the resolution of that loss. Some of these losses may include:
a job/career
a beloved pet
an intimate relationship
physical ability
a home
money
a treasured object
youth
a dream
There are ten touchstones that are essential physical, emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual actions for you to take to help yourself heal:
open to the presence of your loss
dispel misconceptions about grief
embrace the uniqueness of your grief
express the feelings of loss
recognize you are not crazy
understand the six stages of mourning
nurture yourself
reach out for help
seek reconciliation, not resolution
appreciate your transformation
