Bereavement Counseling and Support
Bereavement Counseling:
I am here to listen and support your through your grief and loss. It’s a time when many emotions can arise ranging from shock to rage, grief to depression, relief to guilt, numbness, embarrassment, heartbreak, and many others. Its a time of change and a need for deep self-care.
Having support during this transition can be very loving toward self at this time. My support can be a listening ear of deep compassion, support for resources, support to reflect and reconnect with your own life.
Some people respond well to writing letters to the loved one, doing a ritual for honoring what the relationship meant, going to nature, a safe space for exploring the intensity of all the emotions, help to reorganize life and work with time, an opportunity to share stories, or a space to be held while crying or raging. All feeling and needs are welcomed to be shared and honored during this time of loss. Some people need help in reorganizing their lives, or who are they without the person, or sort out what does life mean without this person.
Counseling is an opportunity to explore this need of identity and how to move forward and re-create self. It also can be a time of honoring the gift of what you shared with the person who passed.
I, Lottie Grant Cooper, am here in service to you; however you grieve, it is welcome and I am here to support your process in a caring and loving way. I am also available to share hands on healing to support your nervous system in feeling reassured the that the body feels safe as well as the emotional body feels safe.
