|Grief *And Life Coach| Embracing 'Grief And'

My clients feel better after our sessions. They tell me this all the time. Our calls are intentional. They bring up whatever they want to work through, regardless if it isn’t what brought them to me in the first place. I listen, ask questions, and remind them of how far they have come along. They aren’t beholden to any timeline other than their own. Grief doesn’t have an expiration date. And when we meet, they are safe in expressing all of it. Because they know I’m not there to judge them. I’m here to normalize the grief experience. And show that life with grief doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time. That guilt doesn't have to be a part of moving forward. That when loved ones tell you to move on, they are operating out of their discomfort. Spending time, energy, and focus carving a home for your grief will always be more productive than trying to pretend it's not there. In doing so, you let grief have a breather. You start to feel better. And you learn that grieving unabashedly is a form of self-care. That kind of life is available to you and can begin with sending me a DM or booking a consultation through this link: https://lnkd.in/ejPVFcC6 #emotionalintelligence #lifecoach #griefsupport

This post is actually really important. I think a lot of people believe if they allow themselves to feel the grief that they will feel worse. But when you lean into it with a supportive person, you will feel better. Allowing feelings to flow, although painful, does feel good (I know, very paradoxical). So I think this is important for people to see.

I absolutely love how you hold space - showing your clients that they're safe to feel what they feel is so beautiful & so needed.

Grief expression should never come with guilt or shame. The fact that you remind people of how far they’ve come and don’t force progress shows you honor the nonlinear nature of bereavement. Just having a non-judgmental ear can be incredibly cathartic.

"Spending time, energy, and focus carving a home for your grief will always be more productive than trying to pretend it's not there." THIS. And this looks different for each person, but the important thing is allowing it to be felt.

Grief as a form of self-care. Brilliant, I never thought of it this way.

Powerful message, Emily Griffith! 💪 This resonates deeply - the intentional space you create for clients to navigate grief without judgment is truly invaluable. Especially love the reminder: "Grief doesn't have an expiration date. It's a journey, not a destination. Helping others find self-care within grief is inspiring! 🙌

I think having someone who can hold space for us, who is an active and present listener, is really a balm for the soul. Your support and comfort truly offers such a tremendous value, Emily 💕
