Grief work can come with all of life’s big transition moments: loss of life of a loved one, loss of community, loss of relationship, loss of identity, economic loss and transition, climate distress, and in my opinion the one change that rules them all: loss of safety. When big things in our life shift or big events transform us, it can prompt activated and numbed feelings about our vulnerability in the midst of the housing crisis, the climate crisis, world health emergencies, the rise of political polarity, and many other things.
Grief Work is a passion of mine; I bring deep, empathetic listening to your experience and process, suggested coping skills to manage existential dread, crisis mitigation skills, and exercises and practices to determine next steps on your path, while honouring what you’ve lost. Alongside this, I sought Death Doula training to put a framework to my approach to all things to do with change in death, and in persistence to live. I believe in our inherent knowledge of what we need, and can hold space to be with yourself in your experience of loss. I focus on advocating for your inherent needs while providing support, helping to create a system of care that prioritizes the person who is losing something, or losing everything.
