Awakening Through Grief

A Sacred Journey Into Heart and Spirit

How to Do Your "Grief Work".


I have spent my life grieving my painful losses alone. In isolation.

Without the vital holding of community and relationships that could support and honor my losses, I was left feeling like something was wrong with me.

When you're in pain all the time and others appear to NOT be in pain at all, it makes you feel like you're really messed up!
I didn't have a community to hold me, to mirror to me that my grief and emotions were normal- healthy even.

The missing piece of my healing journey has been to be witnessed, honored, affirmed and validated for my losses, for the death of my parents, for my normal grieving process.


Having a safe, compassionate, non judgmental community container, specifically for grief, is truly one of the most powerful grief resources we can experience as humans. We are tribal by nature. We need to grieve in community.

Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to find grief communities that honor all the layers of grief and transformation fully- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.


You were never meant to grieve alone. 

Grief is supposed to be done in community. We are tribal people and community is a basic human need. In many indigenous cultures it's recognized that when one person is grieving, the entire community is grieving. Everyone is impacted by the pain and suffering of one person. Unfortunately it is rare in our culture to receive community holding during loss and grief.

In fact, for most people, grief brings up shame and guilt.

Do you feel like your big emotions and grief are a burden to others?
Do you get the sense that others can't handle your grief, your pain and your story around loss?
Have you lost friends and relationships because they can't handle your grief and the story of your loss?


Most of us who have experienced debilitating losses and the impact of grief, have also had to face losing friendships, relationships and community as well. We must endure even more loss!

I imagine you have experienced what I have. It feels like no one can handle your pain, so you are left to grieve alone, in silence.


This is how grief gets suppressed, avoided and resisted.

We learn from a very early age that big, painful emotions won't be tolerated- by family members, society, teachers, etc-  so we learn to shut down and numb emotions consistently.

But when you experience a major, life altering loss (or multiple losses back to back), you can't ignore the pain. The emotional waves are overpowering. Their messy. They make you feel like you're going crazy. Nothing is the same, nor will it ever be again.

The fact that our culture does not have any place to hold grief, creates an environment where grief goes undigested and unprocessed. It's simply too much for one human to endure alone.


Most people self isolate during their grief process and feel very different from others as a result of their loss.

Without understanding from others, consistent holding and compassion from a community, healing is extremely challenging. It's crucial that the communal support your receive is rooted in non judgment so it feels safe to be fully held and vulnerable in your pain. 


So often, this is the missing link in the healing journey. Witnessing, presence, consistent holding, community, connection. The grief process is an experience of harsh, often sudden, disconnection. Grief requires that you open and move towards your emotions. It requests a re-connection with your entire body.

Your grief journey is an opportunity to rebuild a new relationship with your emotional body and inner support systems. There are gifts in your disconnection process that are waiting to be found.


Grief shows us with brutal honesty where our needs have not been met. Where we have been disconnected from our truth and inner knowing.

Grief is intelligent and has wisdom to share with you. Are you ready to listen?!

Remember. You were never meant to grieve alone.

There is a community of support waiting to hold you. A grief tribe. You do not have to grieve alone. Join Us Now!!
