Hello,
Grief doesn't always arrive loudly.
Sometimes it walks beside us quietly, unspoken, unrecognised, even unnamed.
It may look like the death of someone we love.
The conversations we never got to have.
But it may also live in the loss of a role that once defined us.
The version of ourselves that never got to emerge.
A home we had to leave behind.
A friendship or community that has unraveled.
These are the losses that don't always get witnessed, and yet they shape us just as powerfully.
This week The Grief Reflections goes live and this Coaching Short seeks to be a gentle companion for those who are willing to pause and ask:
What am I grieving that I haven't yet given words to?
What parts of me have I silenced, hidden, or left behind?
What is asking to be remembered, not to stay stuck, but to come back into balance?
A Five Chapter Journey for the Grief We Carry
This five chapter body of work is designed to meet you where you are, and to move with you through grief, as a gentle guided journey. In The Grief Reflections you will be supported by sound, music, visualisations, movement, systemic constellations and various forms of creative expression.
Each chapter flows like water, allowing rest and return as needed.
1. Gather Up
We begin by gently naming what's been lost, both visible and hidden, and honouring the grief that has been carried, often alone.
2. Remember
Here we step into sacred remembrance, making space for names, images, and sensations to emerge as meaningful, living presences in our story.
3. Imagine
In the imaginal realm, grief takes form. Through creative visualisation and breath, we allow what has been unspoken to be seen and felt.
4. Express
We give shape to grief through movement, art, dialogue and writing, so that it no longer lives only in the body, but begins to move.
5. Forgiveness
If and when it feels right, this final chapter offers a path toward softening, to ourselves, others, or life itself. It is not required, only offered.
Shifting the Relationship Fields Around Us
Of course grief is not something we master or complete.
It is something we live with. And, if we're lucky, eventually live more fully because of.
When we begin to tend to our grief, we do not only heal ourselves, we begin to shift the relational fields around us - families, teams, communities, lineages.
Grief doesn't just dissolve, it can also transform, opening new spaces for joy and a deep appreciation for life.
So what if tending to your grief could restore more than just your heart?
What if it could shift the dynamics in the system you live and lead within?
From my heart to yours,
