Grief
“That’s part of what makes life precious and frightening at the same moment. The prospect of loss is what actually intensifies the attachment. The attachment contains the recognition at some level of the changing nature of phenomena – that everything is changing all the time. And it’s uncertain.Many of us have felt the fear of loving too much. The fear and the pain of loving when you know there will be a loss. And when there is a loss, there is of course deep grief. And the way we deal with grief has a lot to do with whether or not the grief heals and strengthens us or ends up depriving and starving us.” - Ram Dass
My Work with Grief:
Grief is not something I believe we need to “fix,” rush through, or complete on a particular schedule. It is a deeply personal process that asks us to make room for what has been lost. And grief is not limited to death—we can grieve the loss of a relationship, a future we imagined, an identity, a sense of safety, or a dream we invested ourselves in.
In our work together, I want to give you the space to grieve in a way that is true to you. There is no expectation that you should be stronger, further along, or feeling differently than you are.
At the same time, we can begin to explore how you carry the loss forward. Grief can break our hearts, but it can also deepen our understanding of ourselves, our relationships, and what matters most to us. Rather than asking you to “move on,” our work is about learning how to move forward while honoring what you have lost—allowing sorrow and meaning, loss and love, to exist alongside one another.
