Ways to Work Together
Grief Support & Education
Grief does not follow a schedule, and it does not always look the way people expect it to.
I trained as a Certified Grief Educator with David Kessler. (World-renowned grief expert, author and speaker) Much of that work comes down to something simple: making room for grief to be spoken out loud without anyone rushing it or trying to fix it.
Your grief might be recent. It might be years old and still surfacing at odd moments. It might be for a person, or for a relationship, a home, a role, or a version of your life that never happened. All of it counts.
You Do Not Have to Explain Yourself Here
People often arrive apologizing. For still being sad. For not being sad enough. For crying about something that happened a long time ago. None of that needs an apology.
We can talk about what happened, what it changed, and what you are carrying now. We can also talk about the practical weight of loss, the parts nobody warns you about.
“Laura provided a safe and patient space for me to cry and finally talk… I felt stuck in grief. She helped me to get unstuck. It’s still a work in progress, but I am moving forward.”
Grief Education for Families and Groups
I also teach. If you are supporting someone who is grieving, or your workplace, faith community or organization wants to understand grief better, that is work I can offer.
