Thoughts and Reflections on Grief and Loss

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

I believe strongly in the resiliency of the human spirit.  People can heal, they can learn how to make better choices in their lives.

Therapy is a journey of the heart, mind and spirit working towards health.  It is two people in a room who have connected during their time working together.

What does it mean to grow older?  Either we will die young or we will grow old.  Yet we rarely talk about what this meant to us individually or collectively.

Most of us face fear on different levels.  It can be something small or something huge.  Research write about your fears, talk to trusted people.

If you live long enough, grief and loss will be part of your life.  It’s knowing when a “door closes somewhere a window will open.”

My work with clients deals with feelings of suffering because of grief and loss.  My hope is that people can heal, change and grow and make good choices.

Healing can happen when there is non-judgement, love, concern and knowledge between two people.

One thing we know to be true is that change will happen whether we are ready or not.

A sense of humor, kindness and a sense of fairness will take you far.

Connect with your joy, get silent, cultivate compassion, maintain your body, give with true feelings, read powerful books and surround yourself with real friends. 

A sense of humor will serve you well through good time and through tough times.  It will open up your mind and heart

Every day is a chance to live life to its fullest potential.  Every day can you have time for family, friends, work and joy?  We don’t know what day will be our last.
