You should know that no matter who or what you lost, how long ago, or how recent it was, if it took you by surprise, or was a long and painful road, that you deserve to be seen, heard and supported in your grief.

After I lost my husband on June 1, 2013, I did not at first, feel ready or able to face his death. I was, as I now know, in a state of shock. My body processed this trauma by protecting me so well, that even I was unaware of the ways in which his death continued to impact me all of these years later.

When I did begin the work…the work to acknowledge, accept, find peace and make meaning in this new life, as this new self, it took me a long time to gather all of the components that have become the foundation for this healing journey.

Whether you find yourself facing death-related or non-death-related grief, The Grief Ritual aims to provide support in the ways you most need it. The collaborative nature of this work together, as we foster space to feel, process, grow and even thrive, is in itself healing work. The intention is, in this space of safety, that what you find, learn about and grow to love…is your right now self.

Grief is love in a different form. We can carry both on our hearts…
