Grief Support
The pain of loss is overwhelming.
Or you believe it would be if you were to let yourself feel it.
Sometimes, we can’t move past grief because we haven’t moved through it. Perhaps there hasn’t been time, especially with the urgency of keeping daily life afloat. Or maybe you fear that if you let the grief in, it will drown you.
Like ocean waves, grief is sometimes ferocious, sometimes quieter, but always an indicator of what’s happening below the surface.
And like waves, the energy that grief sends up from unseen depths can damage if blocked.
All kinds of losses deserve expressions of grief.
Some kinds of grief, such as grieving in response to a death, are understood and recognized. Others are harder to identify because there’s no dramatic crash to cue our shared rituals of support and condolence.
Ambiguous losses with nothing tangible to mourn – job loss, divorce, disease or disability, end of a friendship, an empty nest, gender transition, among other changes – also need to be grieved and healed.
We may even feel the pangs of collective loss that our bodies remember, even though our conscious mind may not be aware of them.
“Working with Diana is a grounding and soulful experience. She has a special ability to hear a personal story and respond in such a way that the teller of the story has a better understanding of their emotions and grief, and themselves.”
– Anita T.
Compassionate support helps grief heal faster.
In our grief support sessions, we will find ways for you to release your waves of grief so you can move toward calmer waters.
Together, we’ll find the most meaningful approaches that reflect the shape of your wound and what you need to heal.
I’ll support you to ride the waves however they come, knowing that, like all emotions, they will pass more easily when you move through them rather than trying to evade them.
We’ll trust that immersion in the depths of sorrow will make the joy of life all the sweeter when the tide turns to reveal a different landscape.
