grief work.
If you’re searching for grief support, I’m sorry you’re in a position to do so.
I’ve been an apprentice of grief since I was four years old when my father died. I have experienced losses of many kinds since, from friends to teachers to family. I have been through sudden loss, loss from suicide, and loss from illness or age. Every one has been its own experience.
I believe that we do not handle grief well as a society in the West. We may try to push it down, deny it, move it along. We may think we know what loss will feel like or what it should feel like to another person, but the truth is that every grief and every loss is different.
Grief work is not just for death. You may feel grief around life changes, job changes, or any number of other things. All of these griefs are valid and deserve support.
In my work, I seek to come alongside those who are experiencing grief. My work is not therapy and not a replacement for therapy, but can be additional support.
From wanting someone to sit with to needing a space to talk without fixing or changing, there are many ways we can work together.
