How do I know if I need an end of life coach?

It’s not a matter of if, but when! Our clients report that having support to face their mortality, prepare for the inevitable and partner with them through the roller-coaster of emotions as death draws near is invaluable to them. The unknowns of the journey ahead are a frequent source of both fear and possibility. A good end of life coach can help you navigate both, and everything in-between.

How do I know if I need a grief coach?

Maybe you don’t! Maybe you feel like you are doing just fine. You are the expert of your grief experience. Whether this is your first loss, or your hundredth, each one is unique. And each brings with it a variety of emotion, nuance, pain and even joy. A coach isn’t there to “fix” any of that (or you!) but to help you work your way through it. Despite loss being a natural part of life, it often doesn’t feel that way. It can feel overwhelming, awkward, scary and most of all, hard to talk about. Or easy to talk about, but with who?! If you’re feeling any of these things, no matter when you experienced loss, a coach can help.

I don’t need counselling. What makes you different?

Coaching is not counselling. Coaching is based on the belief that, in most cases, individuals have the resources they need within them to deal with life’s challenges. An end of life or grief coach provides a safe place where you can share anything that helps you to move from good to great. For end of life, that might be a good, peaceful death. For grief and loss, that might mean healthy grief and mourning, and reassurance of what is normal through those experiences.
