Grief Coaching is a specialty of life coaching which focuses on helping you complete your grief.

What is grief coaching?
Grief coaching is an opportunity to explore your relationship with your lost loved one in a safe, supportive environment. In the coaching process, your coach will provide you with assignments designed for completing your grief.

Your coach will listen compassionately as you process the emotions surrounding bereavement. Your coach will help you get in touch with the experiences and emotions that are often avoided while trying to keep up with daily responsibilities.

What if my loss is not about a loved one, but a job loss or home loss or some other significant loss in my life?
If you are dealing with other types of loss, such as job loss or the loss of a home, etc. your grief recovery coach will help you explore the meaning of this loss in your life.

The recovery process will include providing a safe place to talk about your loss and how it impacts you, your lifestyle and your identity today. With your grief coach, you will develop strategies to find happiness again in your current life situation.

How and where does grief recovery coaching take place?
You and your coach make contact over the phone for an agreed session time, usually 3-4 times per month. There is flexibility in that you can talk to your grief coach from anywhere in the world.

How long does grief recovery coaching take?
The length of a coaching relationship depends on your needs and desires. You and your grief recovery coach will discuss your needs to create a plan that meets your needs.

What experience does my grief coach have?
Debbra has a masters degree in clinical psychology and hundreds of hours of clinical experience as a pre-licensed professional in marriage and family therapy. In addition, she spent over ten years as a church lay counselor and wellness coach successfully helping people heal their broken hearts and sick bodies.

In almost every difficulty in life there is an element of grief and loss. Debbra compassionately leads you to address the root causes of your heartbreak rather than only deal with the symptoms, so you can move into the fulfilling life you were destined for.

How can I know if grief recovery coaching is right for me?
We encourage you to read The Grief Recovery Handbook, 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition: The Action Program for Moving Beyond Death, Divorce, and Other Losses including Health, Career, and Faith by John W. James and Russell Friedman.

It may be that you will have someone already in your life who can help you take many of the steps needed for grief recovery. However, for some people, isolation is a natural reaction to their loss. If you find it difficult to find someone you trust enough to unburden your heart to, grief recovery coaching may be just what you need.
