Who and why

Life’s great challenges can be devastating when they happen. They can also lie dormant, even for decades, but they are still seismic changes. Tragic loss comes in so many forms. The death of a parent, a child, a spouse, a sibling, a beloved pet. Closing a business. Ending a career. Yet no two people carry loss in the same way, and no one else can tell you what yours should look like. If it feels overwhelming, support is here.

Truthfully, I didn’t know just how much grief and loss had impacted my ability to live fully until my mom passed away. Even when I made the choice to close my business of thirty years, I was certain I’d be fine. I wasn’t.

Through my healing journey, I came to understand why mom’s death, even though she was ninety-nine, was so incredibly hard. I also recognized that business, community service and staying ‘active’ were shields I unconsciously used to protect myself from a lifetime of unacknowledged, unresolved grief.

Asking for help became the best gift I ever gave myself. No longer running from or numbing my feelings, I emerged from the shadows of buried loss.

With loving support, you can reconnect with what matters most to you and make room for peace in your heart.
