Several years ago, life dealt me a series of devastating losses. Within a short period, I had to say goodbye to my beloved mother, husband, and niece. The weight of grief was overwhelming, and just as I began to process one loss, another struck unexpectedly. It felt as though I couldn't catch my breath amidst the continuous waves of sorrow. Each loss was unique, and adjusting to my "new normal" took time. I found myself lost in a fog, merely going through the motions of living, unable to find solace in sharing my pain with my grieving friends and family.
‍
As I journeyed through my grief, I turned to reading, meditation, and soul searching to find a way out of the sorrow. I knew deep down that I needed to take action to heal because I couldn't bear the way I was feeling. Gradually, I realized that I was the key to my own healing; no one else could truly understand my pain and help me as I could myself.
‍
Throughout my healing process, I encountered others who were also struggling with grief, feeling lost without someone to confide in and guide them through the pain. These encounters made me realize that my life was taking a new direction - I felt a calling to make a difference for those experiencing loss. Along my journey, I discovered grief coaching, and I knew instantly that it was my life’s path. I wanted to be there for others, just as I wished someone had been there for me. My goal became to support fellow grievers on their path towards healing and help them move forward in their life's journey, much like I had done.
‍
I understand that everyone's experience of grief is unique. The relationships we have with loved ones vary greatly - friends, pets, spouses, children - and the love we share with them takes different forms. It's impossible to compare our feelings to someone else's, as each loss is deeply personal.
‍
So, I made the decision to become a grief coach. My own experiences with loss and the lessons I learned from the school of hard knocks have prepared me for this role. I have a natural gift for listening and offering support, and I hope to utilize these abilities to help you transcend your grief and continue along your life path. You will always carry the memories of your loved ones in your heart, and I want to assist you in honoring their legacy while finding the strength to embrace the wonderful possibilities that life has in store for you.

Let me be there for you during this difficult time. Together, we can navigate through grief's challenges, and you can emerge stronger and more resilient, ready to embrace life's journey once again.
