Healing Reflections invite you to come NEAR Grief and move toward healing.

Coping with grief is a process. Creating space to honor and contain your loss can help you move through the healing process. Ignoring feelings can result in a build-up and explosion of emotions, or they might leak out sideways when you least expect. These Reflections are intended to create a safe place to honor your loss and offer some tips to cope with loss. Grief can come when dealing with the death of a loved one, a major life change, divorce or a break-up, or any other significant loss.

Episodes will guide you and support you using the acronym:

Welcome! I am Angie, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addiction Counselor with more than 20 years of supporting others. These Weekly Reflections are to support you during your healing journey. Grief can be the loneliest feeling. It is a shared human experience and at the same time unique to each of us for whatever it is we are grieving. These reflections are created with the hope of helping you feel less alone no matter where you are in your grief journey. Some days just getting out of bed can feel impossible while other days merely taking a deep breath can feel like a chore. Grief can be a rickety bridge from what was to what possibilities lie ahead. And more often than not, we never wanted to get on that shaky bridge in the first place. You are not alone. There is no one right way to grieve. I hope these reflections support you just in the way that you need on your grief journey. Thank you for listening. (Angie)
