Grief and Loss

When we lose someone or something special to us, we lose a piece of ourselves. Support to move through loss allows us to connect with the beauty of what that relationship means to us. 

Grief can leave us feeling angry, lost, sad, and confused. Sometimes the pain that comes with grief feels overwhelming and never-ending. Dealing with grief can be invasive and detracts from us being present, compromising our ability to experience connection, gratitude, and joy. If the loss is left unprocessed, it begins to bleed into everything we do that is important to our hearts. 

In our society, there can be pressure or expectation to be over or move on from a loss before we are truly healed. When we prevent ourselves from having the appropriate space to authentically heal, we often in turn hide and put a face on for the rest of the world to show that we are “okay”. We all need a space where it is ok to not be ok. Together we can share the heaviness that accompanies loss and honour the relationship as it was and its new form.

To feel joy again. To reclaim the passion in life’s experiences. To stay present with those we love and not be lost in the heaviness of our loss. To feel sadness without knowing that will pass. To let go so that we can make room for more things to grow. Together we can make strides towards a new way of experiencing the loss you are feeling and transform it from anchors on your feet to wings on your back. 

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, or youth. Read more about transitions.
