GRIEF SUPPORT
Grief Support: Helping You Navigate Loss with Understanding and Compassion
Grief is a natural, human response to loss—but it’s also one of the least understood experiences we face.
My grief support service provides a safe, compassionate space for those dealing with the loss of a loved one. I recognize that grief is a deeply personal journey, and my approach is designed to honor your unique experience. Through individual sessions and thoughtful resources and strategies, I offer comfort and guidance as you move through your grief journey. My commitment is to support you with empathy and respect, helping you find peace and resilience as you remember and honor your loved one.
I also work with people who are experiencing anticipatory grief. If you or a loved one has a terminal illness, it's a good bet that you're going through what's called 'anticipatory grief' and could benefit from grief support during the dying process.

Through compassionate, personalized grief support and bereavement care, I help you move through loss with understanding and grace.

Why Grief SUPPORT Matters
When you’re grieving, it can feel confusing, overwhelming, and deeply isolating. Many people are unsure what they’re “supposed” to feel—or worry they’re doing grief the wrong way. In a culture that often expects people to move on quickly or grieve quietly, it’s easy to feel alone in an experience that is anything but simple.
Grief support helps make sense of what you’re going through. Learning about the emotional, physical, and mental responses to loss can be deeply reassuring—it reminds you that your reactions are normal, even when they’re painful.
Understanding grief doesn’t take the pain away, but it can reduce fear, self-doubt, and loneliness.
At Epilogue Care, I offer compassionate, personalized support to help you understand your grief and move through it with compassion rather than judgment. Together, we create space for your experience—so nothing has to be rushed, hidden, or “fixed.” You don’t have to carry this alone.

What you need to know about GRIEF support
Through my grief support, I offer practical knowledge and tools to help you better understand the grieving process and navigate its turbulent waters. This work is not therapy—it’s a supportive, educational approach to learning what grief is (and isn’t), and gaining tools you can use right away. Grief can be deeply isolating, and steady, compassionate support is the antidote.
There are many different grief counselors, coaches, and specialists, each with their own ideas about how grief should be “healed.” I don’t believe grief is something to fix—I believe it’s
something to feel. Every person’s grief is unique, and there is no right or wrong way to move through it, and no timeline for when it should end. Because of that, I let each client’s needs guide our work together, rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.The late psychiatrist Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross introduced the five commonly known stages of grief in her groundbreaking book "On Death and Dying". Not everyone experiences all of these
stages—but understanding them can help make sense of the emotions you may be feeling. The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. A sixth stage was added after the book was published by David Kessler - Finding Meaning.Please reach out through my contact page and let me know you’re interested in grief support.
