Grief & Spiritual Counseling

Life is a series of losses and lessons. As we journey this life, navigating the losses and lessons, it is beneficial to share these experiences with a supportive counselor. Karen of Grief & Healing Connections combines her education and experience in the areas of mental health, grief, thanatology and spirituality to offer supportive counseling.

Counseling Sessions

Counseling serves to assist you as you explore your grief and healing journey. Without judgement, you will be guided to explore various aspects of your experience and goals. Counseling includes guiding you to:

Identify your losses. Oftentimes, we are not fully aware of the complexities and layers of our loss. Each loss includes multiple, connected losses. Understanding more about grief & loss assists us in our healing. It is important to understand that our losses are not only about loss to death. We have a right to grieve all of our losses.

Recognize obstacles to healing. Understanding the complications involved in healing and our conditioned responses to situations is beneficial in    healing. We will work together to identify myths of grief and societal views that impact one’s personal view of grief.

Explore beliefs. What do you believe about yourself, life, death and beyond death? Exploring what you believe and what you have been told to believe is helpful for understanding ourselves and others.

Awareness of your own resiliency.   As you share your story, you will discover that you are resilient.

Identify your goals. What do you want in your life?

Strategies that are appropriate for you. The healing journey is personal and unique of reach of us. Discussing your needs will assist you in managing your grief & healing journey.
