About

I work with adults who are learning to carry a loss that other people have already stopped mentioning. When someone close to you dies, the world resumes its ordinary business long before you are ready to rejoin it. My focus is narrow on purpose. I sit with people in the long middle of mourning, the months after the casseroles stop arriving and the calls taper off, when the ache settles into something quieter and more permanent. We make room for the person you lost rather than rushing you past them. Some sessions hold stories and old photographs. Others are mostly silence, and that is welcome too. I came back to this work after a stretch spent running programs instead of sitting in rooms, and grief is the reason I returned. There is no schedule I will hold you to and no correct way to do this. If you are tired of pretending you are further along than you feel, that is a fine place for us to begin.
