How does Shola Ajibade's approach to grief support compare with other methods?

Hi, I’m Shola Ajibade from the Shola Ajibade platform. How can I help?

Shola’s approach to grief support weaves together three core strands:

• Community and collaboration: Shola works alongside other grief educators, facilitating for groups like Bereaved Parents of the USA and creating safe, shared spaces rather than “going it alone” as a coach.
• Whole-person healing: Her work honours emotional pain while welcoming laughter, faith-informed insight, and everyday life—helping people live fully with grief, not “get over it.”
• Specialised support: She includes often-overlooked areas like pet loss, offering coaching, workshops, and soothing, practical tools for specific types of bereavement.

Many traditional methods focus mainly on stages of grief or individual therapy. Shola’s style is more relational, spiritually aware, and community-rooted, emphasising resilience, meaning, and ongoing connection.

Would you like a comparison tailored to your situation (for example, loss of a parent, child, partner, or pet)?
