Grief Tending and End-of-Life Care

"Grief is not a problem to fix, it is an experience to tend to" -Megan Devine

This is the invitation we will explore in our grief care sessions, inviting curiosity and compassion each moment of the way as we tend to grief. Grief tending offers us a place to gently land, a moment to pause and rest in the thresholds between endings and beginnings. To explore and share your truth in these liminal spaces, while being held with compassion, curiosity and care. To consider and invite in what is most supportive and nourishing in both your moments of solitude and moments of community care. Thresholds are more than doorways; they are pathways of connection and an invitation to explore what form our love wants to express in this new world as we walk with grief.

As grief is a deeply personal journey, the care and tending that each of us needs will be as unique as our grief and love expresses. You are not alone as you walk with your grief and these sessions offer compassionate conversations to explore how you might tend to your grief, create a meaningful life in this new world, and anything else that feels important to turn toward.

Compassionate Grief Care

Sessions to help you tend to your grief in a compassionate, non-judgemental space. We will explore what life after loss feels like for you, and what tools may support you along the way when life feels unbearable. Sessions may include, and are not limited to:

Space to share the truth of your own grief experience
Grief resources and education
Create boundaries and deepen self-trust
Emotional containment tools
Discussions around life after loss
Referrals to experts and specialists outside of scope of practice

Loss unfolds in many ways and your loss is important:

Death (Accidental, Suicide, Homicide, Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Natural)
Divorce
Collective Loss
Job Loss
Loss of a future you dreamed of
Loss of a home
Loss of a friendship
Loss if an important relationship
Loss of religious or spiritual community
Sorrows of the world (humans, animals, plants, the planet)
