You may have arrived here if you are… 

• Experiencing deep emotional pain, at the passing of a loved one - whether the loss recently occurred, or if it took place many years ago

• Anticipating the passing of a loved one.  This may be the process of a chronic or sudden illness.  This could be an unexpected tragic event. 

• Noticing that the passing of a loved one (or close connection) is paired with complex or conflicting feelings.  This could include some dissonance around how you think you should feel, how you are expected to feel, and what your emotional experience actually manifests

• Navigating loss of health.  This could include sudden onset, debilitating, or a chronic illness.

• Struggling with the loss of a relationship – whether expected, unexpected, initiated, or in response to a partner’s initiation

• Preparing for your own end of life transition (please see further below)

You may have difficulty performing daily tasks or responsibilities.

You may notice disruptions in daily functioning – including changes in your appetite, sleep patterns, and how you engage relationships.

You may experience physical, cognitive, behavioral, or emotional symptoms, including:

• Shock, distress, intense sadness, confusion, detachment, isolation, anger, disbelief, amongst a host of others

You may not connect with any recognizable feeling at all

What our work together can look like

Grief is a very personal, existential experience that can defy space and time. Together, we:

• Hold space for the losses that move alongside the passing of someone significant in our lives

• Engage traditions or create ritual to memorialize your loved one

• Identify specific healing practices, routines, and rituals to honor your unique needs

For those anticipating the loss of a loved one, we can:

Engage in end-of-life care planning

Create intention and presence for you and your loved one

Navigate all of the questions, concerns, and thoughts surrounding death and the dying process

If you are preparing for your own end of life transition, I offer a safe space to process this sacred time. 

This could include…

• thoughts or questions about what to expect in the dying process

• discussion around what is most important to you leading up to and during the transition process

• the legacy that you wish to gift specific loved ones or broadly with the world. 

  • A legacy could be a tangible item (or items) that are physically passed onto others. 

  • It could be a concept, wish, intention, or affirmation that you wish others to embrace, as they think about you. 

  • It could also include the telling of your own life journey, to be shared, as part of any cultural, ritualistic ceremony that may be observed in your name (like a funeral, memorial, or celebration).  Who better to share the most important parts of your lived human experience, or the significant details that you might want others to hold, than the very soul that has moved as the protagonist in each act and scene of your very unique, intricate story!
