Welcome to this Sacred Space.
I’m honored you are here.
For each of us, there will inevitably come times of loss. Loss of love, loss of safety, loss of security, loss of a loved one, or countless other losses. When these losses occur it is important that we are able to engage in the sacred work of grieving. However, this can be difficult due to the fact that, for many of us, healthy grieving rituals and practices weren’t modeled for us as children. Instead, we were taught to “be grateful it wasn’t as bad as it could have been”, assured we could “always get another one”, and told we should “get back out there” and “push through” so we could “get over it”.
While these messages were probably well-intentioned, they are all focused on moving forward. But when we experience loss it can feel as if our world has stopped. What we need in those moments is someone to see us in our pain, and not turn away. We need to be surrounded and supported, cared for, and listened to. We need time to rest, and cry, and scream, and stitch up our wounds.
We need to grieve.
If you are looking for individualized guidance and support or would like to join a group where you can both offer and receive compassion and support, please reach out.
All grief is welcome, and all loss is respected.
