Grief Work

Embarking on the journey of grief can be both deeply personal and profoundly communal. Drawing inspiration from the transformative insights of Francis Weller, a pioneer in grief work, my therapeutic approach honors the Five Gates of Grief – Despair, Longing, Rage, Sorrows of the World, and Ancestral Grief. Together, we navigate these gates, acknowledging grief not as a flaw but as an essential and archetypal part of the human experience.

In our sessions, I create a compassionate space where your unique grief journey unfolds, embracing the depth of sorrow and allowing it to be a catalyst for healing and growth. Grief is a uniquely individual process; it's also a shared human experience that connects us to our personal narratives and the broader tapestry of communal loss.

Grief, much like the ebb and flow of waves, is a natural and rhythmic aspect of the human experience. At times gentle, at others turbulent, the waves of grief carry us through the ocean of emotions. Each wave represents a unique facet of sorrow – from the initial crash of loss to the subtle undertow of longing. In therapeutic work, we explore these waves together, acknowledging that grief is not a linear journey but a fluid dance of emotions. Like the tide, grief may recede, only to return in unexpected moments. My approach is to provide a supportive vessel where you can ride these waves, finding solace and strength amidst the undulating currents. Together, we navigate the depths of grief, recognizing that, just as waves transform the shore, the journey through sorrow can reshape and renew the landscape of our lives.

Whether you are grappling with the profound ache of personal bereavement or the collective sorrows of the world, our work together is an invitation to delve into the layers of grief, finding resilience and wisdom amid the pain. Let's navigate the intricate landscape of grief with authenticity and compassion, to illuminate the transformative potential within the heartache.
