Bereavement Coaching in Somerset

From Loss to Life

It starts with…

Loss…death…illness…divorce…redundancy…financial loss…

…which knocks us sideways and often when we least expect it… there are strong emotions to cope with, questions about our relationships…how to cope with the changes…preserving what we hold most dear…

Grieving fully is crucial for our wellbeing, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. When we engage with this willingly, it can release us to a new, revitalised phase of our lives. It’s in crossing the threshold between our life as it was before a loss and our life afterwards that we can face challenges. Unresolved grief can even surface years later as an unwelcome obstacles in our personal or working lives…feeling stuck, anxious or lethargic…

Calmer, less anxious and more focussed

‘I thought I was a confident career-minded person and when ill health struck and my whole life collapsed around me I knew I wanted some help and yet resisted every step of the way. I should not have… I became calmer, less anxious and focussed on what I really wanted the future to be. Sally’s invaluable, calm, honest and open feedback have opened the way to a clearer path.

You have helped me

You have helped me stop tormenting myself about the past, freed me from seeking approval from those who will never give it, and have a more peaceful and understanding relationship with my children and husband. Even with all this I am not perfect, but I will allow myself to be truer to myself and find my strength again.
