there’s no right (or wrong) way to grieve, only your way

let’s find your way

nothing prepared you for this, but this is where you are

~ grieving ~

The unknownness of it can be scary. The feelings can be overwhelming. You might feel unhinged or enraged or numb. Our death-denying culture hasn’t taught us how to navigate the inescapable experience of grieving.

Here’s what I want you to know:

  • A life well lived is full of loss. Grief is the normal and natural process of adapting to loss.

  • Many of us fear grief. It is intense and wild and unknown. When we fear or avoid grief, it gets even harder. When we fear grief, it has all the power.

  • You can take your power back by tending and befriending your grief. It sounds so strange, I know, but grief will be your companion for a long time. There are ways to learn to live with it.

    I’m here to help you find your way.

Hi. My name is Jill, and I’m a grief coach. I help people adapt to what is and create what’s possible.

I was 20 when my dad died. I had the fortune of having a roommate who was also grieving. I had someone right there who understood. We made space for each other. We went through a lot of Kleenex. My grief continued long beyond that year. It ebbed and flowed. Now, 34 years later, that grief is gentle and warm and familiar. And yes, it is still with me.

Since then, I’ve grieved other losses. I grieved when I moved four states east for a job. I grieved when I struggled to get pregnant. I grieved when I left the career I’d trained for. I grieved when I divorced.
