Move Forward After Loss Without Moving On
Do you feel stuck at “good enough”… like you’re existing instead of really living?
I help women who held it all together after loss stop wondering if whole is still possible – it is.
It’s a common (but harmful) belief that moving forward after loss means you’re ‘moving on’
Even though it’s not true, the idea of ‘moving on’ feels like forgetting.
And since forgetting is the last thing you want after losing your loved one, you avoid healing and feeling better.
Maybe you’re using some of these avoidance methods:
- Working 24/7
- Drinking a bottle of wine every night
- Shopping for clothes you’ll never wear
- Exercising to the point of collapse
- Staying in bed and sleeping all day
But all that avoiding can result in you…
- Having no interest in anything
- Not wanting to face the world
- Not being able to do normal things in life
- Not having any idea what to do with your life
You feel like you might be stuck in grief forever.
And you wonder, “Is it normal to be in this much pain after all this time?“
Avoiding is part of surviving… and it’s only natural. Because no one teaches us how to manage this kind of pain.
But in between avoiding, you try all the things that are supposed to help.
In search of relief and reassurance that you could be happy again someday, you…
But none of these things worked. At least, not enough.
If you’ve done everything you can think of and are left wondering,
“WHY does it still hurt so bad?”
Take heart knowing this,
Grief and love are interconnected.
Love perseveres… it doesn’t end… so grief doesn’t either.
The good news is, there is a way to heal and let go of pain, without letting go of your person.
Who am I to say you can move forward without moving on?
Hi, I’m Jennifer …
When my infant son passed away, I thought I’d never be happy again.
I found some relief in books, journaling, a support group, and therapy.
I didn’t have time for much else because thankfully, I had two more children who brought me so much joy. But then I got divorced and was juggling single-parenting and a full-time corporate career.
And while I loved my business career, I felt called to do more to help women like me… going through the hardest times in their lives and doing it alone.
I quit my corporate job and became a certified life coach. My new career gave me a sense of purpose and fulfillment, but I still carried (and hid) the deep pain over the loss of my son.
I’d been building my coaching career for four years when I had a client who came to me for help with her grief. And I wasn’t able to help her… not enough. And that was unacceptable. So, in 2020, I trained for certification as a Grief Specialist.
Going through this program, I had a transformational experience, 17 years after my son’s death. I experienced a level of healing I didn’t imagine was possible. And that’s why I’m here… to share it with as many people as I can reach.
I want to connect with grievers, with YOU, so that you can not just intellectually know but truly BELIEVE:
- Life has so much more in store for you than just surviving and acting your way through the days
- You don’t have to worry about what other people expect – they mean well but they’re wrong
- You can climb out of the deep dark hole, find your path forward, and embrace and enjoy life again.
Even if you’ve been stuck for years, you can find your way forward, and not only want to participate in life again, but actually make progress towards new goals and dreams!
