Grief Counseling

For individuals, couples and families.

I will accompany you on your feelingful, often life-changing grief journey, providing a safe space for you to let grief have its way with you – the sadness, the fear, the helplessness, the anger, the longing and the graditudeI will share my vast knowledge of grief while reminding you that moving through the pain of loss takes time, that it's never about "getting over your loss," but rather, it is about integrating the loss of your loved one - with all its accompanying emotions - into your current life.  That the relationship to your lost one continues, even as it must change.

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
