Why grief and loss coaching can help you compassionately shift your compass back to you
When we suffer a significant loss we begin to question what is important in our lives. We can find that the world seems like a very different place to the one that had our loved one in it.
As human beings, we do not come into this life to be alone, we are wired for connection. Sometimes our response to grief is fear – our loss gets locked in. We know that fear, depression, anxiety, anger, and strong negative emotions can wreak havoc not only on our mental and emotional health, but also within our physical bodies. It is believed that eighty percent of our energy blockages in our bodies are created from emotional challenges.
Deep grief can cause our minds to be unclear, and what we think may have happened or not happened could be distorted – it is perfectly normal for this to happen. However, we know that negative beliefs and emotions can hold us back from taking appropriate action when we want to move forward.
As human beings we have always held the wisdom to heal from within. We have just forgotten how to access what we already know.
One of the main concerns those who are grieving have is that they do not want the memory of their loved one to fade. Rituals and ceremonies are very important and date back for centuries in all cultures. Grief arises from loving deeply and remembering that love is so important in the healing process.
A strong support network is key to being able to release the fear and stay connected and grounded throughout the day.
“Over the 7 sessions with Gaynor, I saw how far I had already come. I feel like I am returning to myself. The 3 month plan is supporting me to see into the future" Hedi Thin
What happens in Grief and Loss coaching
Gaynor uses the BREATHE model for grief and loss, to support you to re-engage with life after the loss of a loved one. Over 7 sessions, using compassionate mindfulness practices, visualisation, practical exercises and simple tools and techniques you will experience a movement forward that can sustain your own healing thorough daily or weekly routines.
The 7 sessions are not linear, as they are based on what you bring to each session. The BREATHE model – shared with Gaynor by Pat Sheveland of Healing Family Grief is used to explore your own grief and loss and to create a commitment and actions that will move you forward. We take it at your own pace.
Together - we will:
Begin with where you are now and what you want to give your attention too. We will explore your strengths and how you can use them to help you move forward in your healing process.
Use visualisation to help you envision what your future life could look like and create goals to help you accomplish your vision.
Explore who is in your support network and who you may have overlooked. How you can ask for their support and the value of this connection for you and those who support you.
Access your own inner healer, it was always there it has just been covered over. We will tap into ancient wisdom and to five main channels that are believed to be affected by our emotions. We will use these to help design your own activities for physical and mental wellbeing.
Create opportunities to assess what beliefs may be challenging and how this can be turned “upside-down” to access their strength and positivity.
Create a plan, through a ritual or ceremony that will help you to always honour and remember your loved one.
Use the gift of transformation to gently and compassionately focus on your own purposeful life – bringing forth kindness towards yourself and others.
