I have had several clients dealing with the issue of grief. Many severe enough to feel like their hearts are “breaking”. Situation after situation has arisen that has caused multiple episodes of “heart breaking” in succession. There seems to be a continual onslaught of emotional pain that starts causing physical ailments. In truth, this is simply how it works! What we experience on the inside, manifests on the outside.

Everyone experiences grief differently. The timeline of duration also varies because we are all different and the individual circumstances of our relationships have also been unique. Our tolerances greatly differ and where we are in life can often make a difference. One thing for sure, if speaking openly with good friends is not available or helpful, you need to reach out to professionals to help you over this particularly rough patch in life.

Keeping busy and joining support groups with members who have experienced similar circumstances can be very helpful! If the first support group you visit is not to your liking, try another until you find one that speaks to your healing heart! There is great comfort in spending time with others and sharing.

Dealing with the death of a dear pet can also be very devastating! They have been involved in our lives in the most special ways! The emptiness experienced with their passing can leave us with an intense sense of loss and emptiness! Many of our pets have been there to support us when our human friends have left. Our pet’s value can be undeniable and invaluable.

As a certified Life Coach, I have a protocol that can be used to help you through these difficult times, but each person is very unique in their experience and how they express it! Every good professional will evaluate your particular circumstance to know if their abilities match your needs. I can offer other modalities if I feel they are indicated. If not me, then I can suggest a more advanced protocol. The most important part of the process is to enable you to move forward in the best possible way for you.
