Welcome Lovers…

You’re here because you’ve lost or are in the process of losing someone or something you love deeply. I’m so sorry you need my help.

Your world as you knew it has just been shattered by grief and loss and you need support. You need a seasoned guide, or one who has walked before you on this grief path. I’m just that. I companion others in grief because I have lived with my own deep loss. In 2012 my partner crashed on his mountain bike, broke his neck and became a quadriplegic. Our world went upside down and it has never been the same since. Along the way I paid attention so that I could bring you the best grief support possible.

And while my grief is not a death loss, I do know the grief process intimately.

Grief is much more than death loss. You may be feeling grief now because of what’s been happening in the world for the past few years. You may be having huge amounts of earth grief as we deal with the current changes of this living planet. You may be dealing with a break up or a divorce. You may have lost your job or financial security. You may have lost your dream or could be dealing with a medical diagnosis. 

I’m here as a grief guide and grief friend. My passion is to help you navigate this bizarre territory called grief so you can access more joy and life force energy. 

In Scandanavia, the land of my ancestors, when someone was grieving, they’d invite them to sit at the center of the longhouse next to the fire for a year. The community would feed and hydrate them, and make sure they were warm. They were keenly aware that this grieving person was undergoing an initiation and they needed time and space away from daily duties to simply be with and begin to grok their losses. If I could, I would love to invite you to come sit by the fire with me and just let me tend to you. Let me bear witness to you and hold you and hear your story.

So welcome lover…take a look around my website and see what makes sense for you. I invite you to schedule a 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit for each other. 

I’m creating an online group called The Wheel of Grief. I may offer this sometime in October of 2024 and we may go for 6 months. Imagine! 6 months of online group support with some 1:1 sessions with me! We intentionally begin as the light is getting darker (here in the Northern hemisphere), and we end when Spring arrives. The focus is to keep grief moving using my most popular tool called the Ripples of Loss (developed by Cath Duncan), combined with the shamanic work I’ve been learning from a few practitioners and my own deep processes. It brings in the support of the elements of many World Wisdom Traditions. Send me an email if you’d like to learn more about this new program. 

I offer grief groups through ritual and ceremony. I also offer consultations for you and your community. If you would like to hold a ritual or ceremony but aren’t sure how to do that, reach out to me. I also offer grief support for therapists and wellness practitioners with an online group called Tending the Tenders. My next group may begin sometime in the Fall of 2024. 

Thanks for being here. Lately it seems there’s always something to grieve. Reach out to me if you have any questions. 

Grieve well, be well…

Beth, your friend in grief
