“Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
And when you're broken on the ground
You will be found”
Dear Evan Hansen
Hi, I'm Holly.
Have you suffered a loss and want to get back to a place of joy and hope?
Loss brings a normal and natural reaction—grief. It happens in all areas of life—over the death of a loved one, but also from divorce, relationship breakup, job layoff/change in employment status, financial instability, fertility issues, abuse and neglect.
And more.
You've likely been told, 'keep busy, don’t feel bad, replace the loss, grieve alone, give it time, and be strong.' They are common platitudes, but they don't heal.
If you are grieving, know that you will feel, smile and laugh again. That bounce in your step will return, and your energy will come back.
You have the power to heal. And I will be your guide.
"I always associated grief with death. I never thought about the many different types of grief that I encountered in my life… and I spent lots of time and money looking for ways to remove the obstacles to success... never considering that underlying, unresolved grief and unfinished communication were the primary obstacles. Holly skillfully and compassionately guided me through the stages of facing the grief—which I needed to do, but did not want to do, finishing the communication and moving forward! Freedom is one phone call away."—KW
Grief.
Unheard, unsaid, avoided, invalidated, not valued, misunderstood, becomes a festering wound deep within, bubbling up with no place to go—hidden away for fear of showing itself, will appear in other ways. When we feel our grief, and give ourselves permission to express it is when we can truly begin to heal.

The AND Space—missing your loved one AND being happy with the life you are living.
Stuffing is for your Thanksgiving turkey, not your feelings! Grief is real. Grief is not something you have to “get over,” but something you deserve to feel deeply.
When we ignore our sadness, when we stuff it down, it will only come back and manifest in other ways—illness, anxiety, stress, sleep issues, loss of or increase in appetite, addiction (alcohol, drugs, shopping, sex, etc.), and more.
Grief is the natural and normal reaction to loss.
And the conflicting feelings caused by the change or end in a familiar pattern of behavior.
Let that sink in for a minute. Read it again! Conflicting feelings—how can our feelings be conflicted? Because we can sit in the AND space, that's how. Grief brings up all kinds of emotions—anger, sadness, relief, uncertainty, fear, and more.
Take a moment, and write a list of some of your own feelings associated with your loss/es.
Just close your eyes, don’t think about it, just write!
“The good news is that for most of us, grief is not overwhelming or unending. That there is anguish and sadness during bereavement cannot be denied. But there is much more. Above all, it is a human experience.”
George A. Bonanno
