Grief does not follow a timeline. Neither should your healing.

Somewhere along the way you probably heard that grief has stages, a schedule, an endpoint. That by now you should be further along.

Grief is not linear, and it does not run on anyone else's clock. It comes back on a random Tuesday, in the grocery store, at a birthday you weren't expecting to feel. That is not you doing it wrong. That is what grief actually looks like.

For a lot of the women I work with, grief gets pushed to the back of the line, because there are kids to manage, a house to run, everyone else's needs in front of your own. You learn to function around it instead of moving through it. Functioning is not the same as healing.

We make space for what you have lost, using IFS, somatic work, and attachment based approaches, so grief has somewhere to go besides underground.

This work may be for you if

•        You have lost a person, a relationship, an identity, or a version of your life you expected to have

•        You have kept moving because everyone needed you to

•        You feel like you should be over it by now, and you are not

•        Grief shows up in your body before you even know it is grief

Closing

You do not have to carry this alone, and you do not have to carry it perfectly. There is room here for however grief actually shows up in you.
