What is Grief and Loss?
Grief and loss refer to the feelings and experiences that occur following the death of a loved one or another significant loss in one’s life. Grief is a normal and natural response to loss, but it can also be a challenging and confusing time. Grief can impact a person's emotional, physical, and mental well-being, leading to feelings of sadness, anger, and despair.

“The quickest way for anyone to reach the sun and the light of day is not to run west, chasing after the setting sun, but to head east, plunging into the darkness until one comes to the sunrise.”
— Gerald Sittser, A Grace Disguised: How the Soul Grows through Loss
When you are living with grief and facing the loss of a loved one, it can feel lonely and like no one really understands.
Our culture often only allows us to share about our grief and loss for about two weeks until we start to feel the pressure to “get over it.” But there is no getting over grief. Whether we are facing a future loss or grieving one from the past, the pain can come and go. In addition, grief can be complicated. Unexpected or a lack of emotions are very normal, but can cause us to feel guilty and question ourselves. You don’t need someone to help you get over your grief, but you may need someone to sit with you while you are in your grief.
I have worked in grief and loss for my entire 20+ year career. I have provided support for people experiencing the illness and death of loved ones, family estrangement, breakups, friendships gone awry, pet loss, and the many griefs that come with life. I can provide deep listening and ways to cope with your grief to help you both honor the loss you’ve experienced and also be able to be present in your life despite the pain.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
—Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
