Life Transitions

Transitions can be nerve-wracking. To transition is to change. To change is to grieve the loss of what was and make space for what can be. Transitions can be our choice, such as moving cities or beginning a new marriage, or they can be unexpected such as a sudden loss of a job or a partner leaving the relationship. Regardless of our control over the transition, each situation forces us to make changes to our life as we know it.

It is normal for feelings of fear and resistance to come up during these times of change. For many of us, we spend much of our life unhappy because we fear making changes that could disrupt the flow of our lives. We choose to stay unhappy for the fear of letting go or entering the unknown.

While traditionally grief and loss have been associated with death or the loss of a relationship - it can also manifest from the loss of our identity, passion, dreams, youth, marriage, divorce, parenthood, career change, or relocation. Together we will gently explore the possibilities of change in transition.

Just because we speak about an issue does not mean we must make a change. I believe in a compassionate approach that makes space for us to properly process and manage the emotions that can keep us stuck. If you feel that I might be of aid on your journey, I encourage you to reach out. The more we explore and embrace these emotions the more we experience a reprieve from the discomforts of change.

Death –

The transition of impending death can feel isolating and lonely. It is common to not want family members to see us in this light if we are feeling weak or experiencing a loss of independence. It is important for us and our family members to feel connected in our final remaining time. Read more about grief and loss.
