Answer
I look at it this way: traditional grief coaching often focuses on “acceptance,” symptom reduction, and getting you “back to normal.” My Grief 2 Growth approach asks a different question: How do we grow a bigger life around this pain, and who are you becoming because of this?
A few big differences:
- I combine lived experience (my daughter Shayna passing in 2015) with research, rather than just textbook models
- I integrate afterlife and consciousness evidence for people who want that, so we work with continuing bonds, not just “letting go”
- I use my GEMS framework (Gratitude, Exercise/Sleep, Mindfulness, Self-care) to give you daily, practical levers, not just talk
- I’m not trying to “fix” your grief; I help you befriend it and channel it into meaning, service, and spiritual growth
Where do you feel most let down by “traditional” grief support so far?
