Grief and Trauma can be isolating and lonely…

You don’t have to face them alone

Grieving is a natural and necessary experience that helps individuals process their emotions and come to terms with their loss. However, despite its universality, grief is often misunderstood and stigmatized in society. Similar things can be said for those that have experienced trauma, who are living with chronic pain, or those that experience anxiety and depression. The most important thing in understanding work with these is that they are not a one-size-fits-all experience. Different individuals will have different needs and may require different forms of support. I am here to learn how to best support you and to be a listening ear. After all, you are the expert in your life and experiences!

I Am Standing Upon The Seashore

-Unknown

I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until at length
she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come
to mingle with each other. 
Then, someone at my side says;
"There, she is gone!" 
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull
and spar as she was when she left my side
and she is just as able to bear her
load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. 
And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
There are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout;
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
