We are beginning a weekly series of reflections on grief. We hope that as this will help you journey to regaining your peace.

Many people think that grief is only when you lose someone to death or divorce but change causes grief because even when we gain something, something is lost. It could be a job change or relocation or even leaving a school that you loved. It is a sense of feeling something is unfinished. Take comfort you are not alone.

For some time, I have left this Page empty as I had to pursue my credentials as a coach and a consultant working with emotional culture. I was wondering if anyone even wanted to work on Grief Recovery since everyone kept saying they were ok. They felt that 7 weeks was a long time, they were afraid of unearthing past sorrows after they thought that they had healed and they felt that the fees were expensive because they were unused to paying for counselling and mental health interventions. I hear you

But recent events in my life and in the lives of dear friends have just shown me that there is a need for a space to learn how to grieve and for people to reach out. There is a sense of a dark cloud over many worrying about the future without their loved ones whether through death or divorce, coping with major change as they undertake more responsibility as caregivers, fears about uncertain financial future and navigating uncertainty. There have been too many myths about grieving and the tools we have are out of date.

But there is help and there can be a brighter tomorrow.

I have found that the Grief Recovery Method works but if you are not ready yet, this might be a space for you to find some handles until you are ready. And if you know someone who needs help, I hope you find some of this helpful. So stay tuned.

This episode of Feel Free Again really impacted me. Cole James talks with Tammy Fleming, a woman whose life story spans continents, careers, and profound emotional revelations. Trained at the highest level with the Grief Recovery Institute, Tammy unpacks the decades of emotional baggage she carried—and the transformative power of finally facing it.

This explores her journey from Ivy League dropout to full-time missionary, and how unresolved grief silently shaped her relationships—especially with her daughter. Through the Grief Recovery Method, Tammy unearthed the real source of her pain: not just death, but decades of emotional avoidance, especially as a mother navigating pre-menopause, international moves, and personal loss.

If this resonates with you and you are willing to find the same freedom, send me a message and we'll chat more.

Loss shifts our world in ways we never expected—but it does not have to define our future.

Healing doesn’t mean returning to who you were before loss; it means becoming whole in a new way. As you move forward, you carry the love, lessons, and memories with you—not as weights, but as part of the story you continue to write.

There is life beyond loss. There is hope ahead.

Supporting loved ones through loss and grief is never easy. Here are a few things which you can say because it is true.

instead of saying, "i know what it feels like", let's say "i cannot imagine your heartbreak".

instead of saying, "you're strong, you'll get through this, let's say " you'll hurt, and I'll be here.

instead of saying, "you look like you're doing well, let's say, "how are you holding up today?"

instead of saying, "healing takes time", let's say "healing has no timeline".

instead of saying, "everything happens for a reason, let's say "this must feel so terribly senseless right now".

and when there are no words to say at all, you don't need to try and find some. love speaks in silences too.

With Valentine's Day approaching, it's hard to miss all the reminders—stores packed with cards and candy, ads pushing romantic gifts, and social media full of love posts. For some, all of it can stir up painful thoughts and emotions.
