The loss of a child at any age can be a shattering experience that lends itself to a life-long grief process. Claire relies on years of professional experience to help you navigate both the early throes and the long-term impact of this loss. Claire will also provide tools and resources to help other children and family members through the experience and these sessions can be done in tandem with a partner or spouse if so desired.
Throughout September and October, you will meet each week with Claire live on Zoom as well having the opportunity to connect with others who understand what it means to lose a child.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GRIEVE CONSCIOUSLY?
Losing someone we love is something that happens to us but how we grieve is up to us. Grieving consciously means acknowledging all the ways your life has changed and leaning into the process of grieving. Acknowledging change and leaning into grief looks like seeking support and making space for your grief. And making space for grief means setting aside time to feel emotions, engage in rituals, and finding ways to honor the person you miss in all the ways this kind of support group will offer.
