We all have or will encounter grief at some point in our lives. No doubt, most if not all of us will experience losing a loved one ( father, mother, spouse, grandparent, etc.). The question is how to deal with it when it eventually occurs. Some will handle it in a healthy way and others will deal with loss and grief using unhealthy habits that can significantly impact their lives.
Navigating Grief takes a lot of work!
Everyone reacts to grief differently and how an individual grieves is unique to them. It can be an overwhelming and complex experience when one loses a loved one or has experienced other forms of loss, such as a relationship (i.e., divorce), financial security, etc. For years, mental health therapists, psychologists, counselors have been the experts that individuals go to for help and support. However, in addition to these professionals, we now have the grief and loss coach.
This professional coach’s role is to help individuals properly understand the grieving process. The coach will be able to support the client with practical strategies and resources to assist them in managing the various emotional responses being experienced; in the grieving phases as they deal with their loss. A grief coach works patiently with the client respecting the client’s healing time and process to help them move forward with life, guiding them into their new normal and new reality.
As a child of God, you want to seek out a Christian Coach who specializes in grief and loss. The coach will guide you on how to move forward from a biblical perspective, following the death of a loved one or any other type of loss experienced.
