Personal Grief Coaching

When I lost my son, Joel, in 2017 to complications due to heroin/meth addiction, I entered a time of deep depression and utter hopelessness. When others tried to offer well-meaning support, they often tried to connect me with “their friend who lost their son in a car accident” or “someone whose child died after a tragic bout with cancer.” 

It’s not the same. 

There is a stigma associated with deaths of this kind and the judgment that says, “they did this to themselves” or “your over/under parenting contributed to their death,” resulting in           unrelenting self-abuse riddled with shame, guilt, and an endless list of “woulda-coulda-shouldas” that you will never be able to correct. Those of us who have experienced this kind of loss understand there is no one-size-fits-all to working through grief and an experienced, supportive listening ear assures us these feelings and emotions are completely normal.
