What is your approach to grief coaching?

Grief is about loss . Most of my clients have experienced the death of a loved one. But grief is connected to all kinds of loss—friendships, jobs, relationships, life transitions, and more. Your grief is your own . Your experience won’t perfectly match anyone else’s experience. But there will be similarities. As a culture, we have a lot to learn about seeing the individual experiencing grief. Grief isn’t linear . It isn’t a problem to be solved or an algorithm to hack. It’s also not an exact flow of stages. You have to learn your own rhythms. Healing doesn’t mean you’re broken. Grief is a natural human experience. You don’t need to be fixed: you need to be seen, heard, and supported. There are possibilities ahead, there is a way forward. My larger business is called Optimistic Coaching , but don’t think that means our grief work together is about a happy, sunny, “everything is great” mindset. It simply means that, even when we have no idea how the future will play out, there are paths we can take. There are still possibilities. And sometimes we need someone to hold on to that belief with us.

Still need more clarity? Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.

No, coaching is not the same thing as therapy. But it is a "helping profession."

Grief comes from something that has already happened (or is in the process of happening). So the past is relevant and part of the conversation. But coaching, different from some forms of therapy, won’t spend a lot of time looking for patterns in the past. It’s about identifying where you are today, holding space to include your full experience, and then deciding what you want and need in the present moment and going forward.
