Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most common questions people bring with them into grief. If you see yourself here, you’re not alone.

Yes. Grief shows up in many forms — emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. There is no “right” way to grieve, and no universal timeline or pattern.
Feeling overwhelmed, numb, exhausted, angry, foggy, or deeply sad can all be part of a natural response to loss — even if it feels unfamiliar or unsettling.
Grief doesn’t have a fixed endpoint. For many people, it changes over time rather than disappearing. While the intensity often softens, waves of grief can return around anniversaries, memories, moments of transition, or even out of the blue, for seemingly no reason.
This doesn’t mean you’re going backward — it means your love and loss are still being integrated.
You may have heard of the “five stages of grief,” but most grief does not unfold in a linear or predictable way. Emotions can come and go, overlap, or repeat.
Grief is more cyclical than sequential, and your experience doesn’t need to match a model to be valid.
You can also put here your question: My grief feels insignificant compared to whats happening in the world? Should I still reach out?
Yes. This is exactly when you need support. Your grief doesn't become less real because collective crisis exists. In fact, unprocessed personal grief can make collective trauma harder to bear. You deserve support for ALL your grief.

Grief coaching is a supportive, one-on-one space where your experience of loss is met with care, presence, and guidance. It’s designed to help you navigate life after loss without rushing or fixing your grief.
Coaching focuses on your present experience — offering support as you make sense of what’s changed and begin to find your footing again.
Grief coaching is non-clinical and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Therapy may be a better fit if you’re seeking support for clinical depression, trauma, or crisis.
Coaching focuses on helping you live with grief day-to-day — making meaning, navigating emotional waves, and rebuilding life after loss. Some people work with both a therapist and a grief coach.
People often seek grief coaching when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward after loss — even if they’re “functioning” on the outside.
No. Grief can come from many forms of loss — including divorce, estrangement, job loss, health changes, identity shifts, or the life you thought you’d have.
If you’re grieving, your experience belongs here.

I offer one-on-one coaching remotely, via WhatsApp or in person on the North Shore of the great state of Massachusetts. Help families and individuals create lasting memorials through the Remembrance Studio. And I also facilitate group coaching and workshops. You can book time with me here.
You get to show up exactly as you are. Messy, angry, numb, sobbing—all of it welcome. This is your journey and I’m here for you. My job is to hold space, offer support, and remind you that you're not broken, and you have everything you need to heal.
I support people navigating all types of loss from loss of a partner, a pet, a best friend to job loss or the identity change that comes midlife. I also support caregivers with anticipatory grief, and losses that don’t always have clear language or recognition.
