Finding Comfort and Healing After Loss
Don’t grieve alone. Get the support you need when grief devastates your life. Grief and loss counseling provides a compassionate and gentle approach for turning the heartbreaking stages of grief, bereavement, and mourning, into open doors for acceptance, spiritual awakening, self transformation, and renewed hope for the future.
Many people immersed in grief need to talk with another person. Speaking with a grief companion, counselor, or therapist can offer deep healing and consolation.
Lilly is a professional Grief Coach with a deep understanding of grief, and fully comprehends the impact that death and loss has on every part of our Being.
She would be honored to be your grief companion and help you cope during your grief process and to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment for you to process your loss and grieve in whatever way makes sense for you.
How Talk Therapy Can Heal Grief
Grief is the experience and expression of loss, and this looks different for every person. Often people feel unsupported in their grief process or don’t allow themselves to grieve at all.
Sadness, sorrow, loss, and questioning the meaning of your own life are common experiences that nearly everyone must face during grief and mourning the loss of someone you love.
No one gets through life without profound and even devastating losses. Loss encompasses much more than the death loss of a loved one. It can be the loss of a job, a love relationship or marriage, the loss of a dream or an idea of the future.
In talk therapy with Lilly clients can explore their emotions and expressions of their grieving process. Clients can discuss contradictory feelings they may be experiencing, share memories and reminisce, and learn skills to cope with the loss with honor and grace while moving forward in life.
The “Move On” Mentality
We live in a culture in which grief is marginalized and pushed aside. Grieving people often feel abandoned and live out their pain in silent agony. Even our closest friends may feel uncomfortable around us and not know how to be helpful, as the process unfolds — often over many months and even years.
They might subtly encourage us to put aside our grief and move on long before we’re actually ready. The “move on” mentality can deprive us of a profound opportunity — not only of the natural journey of grief but of its ability to open us to more compassionate depth, Divine connection and understanding of its meaning. That’s not to minimize the loss itself, of a loved one, for example.
But our grief can be a gateway to a deeper, wiser and richer experience of life, when consciously engaged as a spiritual practice. Grief and loss has powerful effects on your daily life and relationships. People often think the feelings and impact of grief and loss should diminish quickly, but often this is not the case.
Psychic Lilly will help you identify the effect grief and loss is having on you, work through reconciliation of the loss, and grow through the experience. Although everybody goes through different experiences of grief, called stages, you have your own individual experience of grief and need support and understanding to help you work through it.
Connection with the Divine
Understanding the 7 stages of grief helps us honor the healing process and move toward acceptance.
If we don’t try to short-circuit the grief process by avoiding our feelings and emotions or acting in-authentically positive and allow ourselves to be completely real about where we are, the path of loss becomes a journey of redemption and healing.
In fact, Famed Swiss-American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross identified five stages to the grieving process in her groundbreaking book, “On Death and Dying”. In it, she outlined the classic five stages of grief that many are familiar with; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
Since its initial conception, two additional stages have been discovered; shock (a protective reaction to a traumatic loss, including feelings of numbness, emotional detachment) and ‘testing’ grief (experimenting with different ways to cope with, and adjust to a new reality).
It’s important to note that grief is not a linear process; it’s a winding, switchback road. Please know that however you are grieving is the right way for you, even if it doesn’t precisely match the lists you find online.
Ultimately, grief and loss offer us an alchemical journey in which the darkness and suffering we face can turn into the gold of a deeper life and connection to God. St. Teresa of Avila referred to her longing for Spirit as the “beautiful wound” at the core of life. Loss can sensitize us to this wound and open us to a profound and even mystical connection with the Divine.
But we need guidance and support to create an internal container in which the painful emotions can be metabolized and we can safely enter the heart of the fire to be reborn.
Your Journey Though Grief And Loss
Finding peace and strength through the quiet moments of grief and reflection.
Some losses are especially hard to bear; they seem terribly unjust, like the sudden death of a child, a suicide, or the loss of one’s home to a fire. Working our way through tragic losses is an inevitable part of our human journey and can play a central role in our spiritual life, since grief often cracks us open spiritually in a way that nothing else can.
