Grief Tending

Tend to your grief in a safe and collaborative space. This is an opportunity to feel and consciously express your grief, share experiences, honor ritual or any cultural grieving practice that may be meaningful to you, practice compassionate presence, reflect, build new routines, complete emotions and communication through various exercises, and navigate questions of spirituality or a crisis of meaning that often come to the forefront after loss.

Grief is not something that can be fixed. It can only be felt and will forever change you. If we don’t let it move through us though then it will fester within.

Grief cracks your heart, but you must let it crack your heart more open, not more closed. This work is close to my heart for all sorts of reasons, and I’d be honored to support you on this journey.

I am not a therapist where you are taught in textbooks that grief is a symptom that needs to be removed. I approach this work from a spiritual perspective and from my work as a death doula. This is about the presence to process your emotions in its natural waves, not a clinical framework to fix you. There’s nothing to fix, you just need to create the space to compassionately feel paradoxically and in waves, and to express with honesty. My work as a death doula reminds me of this regularly.
