Why Do We Grieve?

In simple terms, Love + Loss = Grief. In otherwards we grieve because we loved.

Understanding Grief

Grief is not a linear process. In many ways, grief is like a tree. The roots are the reasons for grief, such as loss of a loved one, pet, job and even one's own illness. The trunk represents emotions that naturally come with grief. Sometimes these emotions form a block that keeps one stuck in grief. The branches of the tree, filled with leaves, flowers and buds is where peace and gratitude live. By doing the work to break free from these emotions, it is possible to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life after loss.

Unlike therapy, which often delves into past traumas, grief coaching focuses on the present and future.
