Who and why

Some things lay dormant, even for decades. Seismic changes: Closing a business. Ending a career. Tragic loss. How do you cope if it becomes overwhelming?

When covid encouraged me to close my business of thirty years I was certain I’d be fine. Assuming my love for painting would lead me to new success, I went to work cleaning my painting studio and turned to move the shop vac. ‘SNAP!’ went my back and down I went - bedridden for months. In my determination to avoid major spinal surgery, I dug deeper. I was afraid of dying. In the midst of my healing journey I realized my business was one of the many shields I used to cope with a life of grief.

Truthfully, I didn’t know just how much grief and loss had impacted my ability to live fully until my mom passed away. I googled “help with grief” and found renowned grief expert David Kessler who became my teacher and guide into healing a life of unacknowledged grief. Asking for help became the best gift I ever gave myself. No longer running from or numbing my feelings, I emerged from the shadows of unresolved loss.

After being certified in grief support, I was guided to the preeminent Master Coach Nancy Levin who taught me to embrace change with the courage I had always longed for. I learned what self love and being completely who I am feels like.

It’s freedom.
