Grief does not follow a timeline. Neither do I.
I have been with people who have lost their loved one yesterday. I have been with people who have lost their loved ones twenty years ago. Grief still shows up. It just shows up differently. Sometimes it shows up in tears. Sometimes it shows up in silence. Sometimes it shows up in anger. Sometimes it shows up in laughter that quickly turns into tears.
There is no right way to grieve.
What I offer
I sit with you and your grief, and that is where it starts. I do not try to fix you or rush you. I listen to whatever wants to be said, and I stay present for whatever does not.
We may talk about your illness, and what health or functioning you are losing. You may talk about leaving those you love. You may talk about your person. Who were they? What did they love? What do you miss most? We will also talk about you. How are you sleeping? What is hard right now? What do you need?
You do not have to carry this alone
Being in grief can be a very lonely experience. Friends mean well, but they may not always know how to hold space for your grief. I do. I have walked this path with many people. I am not afraid of your tears, or your silence.
Sit with me. No agenda, and no pressure. Just someone who will be with you as you miss who you loved and provide you with Grief Support.
