You feel lost, heartbroken, devastated. Like your world has been turned upside down, like you desperately want to turn back time to when life made sense and you felt safe and happy--or better yet--that it was a dream and it never happened at all. Maybe this happened awhile ago, but you are still feeling these feelings. You feel stuck. Friends and family are supportive, but seem to not want to listen anymore or don't know what to say. You need someone else to talk to. Someone who will listen & not judge.
Now, imagine a time when you're not crying every day, worried, or have feeling of dread every time the phone rings or get a message. You are handling things, are in control, and remembering the good times. The pain is not be completely gone, but you are able to handle it.
Loss can be any thing that profoundly affects or changes your life. No matter what type of loss you are experiencing, you deserve to feel better and move forward with your life.
Unresolved issues can keep us stuck in a negative cycle of pain, anger, frustration, depression, and anxiety. My passion is to help others break out of that cycle, feel empowered, and live a fuller, happier life, which is what led me to become a Grief Recovery Specialist.
