Grieving
  • What is Grief?

  • Am I grieving too long?

  • Everyone keeps telling me "to let go", "move on", "get back to
    life" and I just can't seem to do it.  What's wrong with me?

  • My child doesn't seem to be grieving?  What can I do?

  • I am a professional who works with grieving clients, how do I
    help support my clients?  I am a professional who works with life
    altering illnesses?  How do I deal with my own grief when I am
    constantly dealing with death all the time in my career and
    personal life?

  • What services are available for me or someone I love?
  • Grief isn't a feeling.  It is a process of understanding who we are without the person we love
    being here with us physically.
  • Grief is part of the life long journey of our developmental, social, spiritual, and emotional growth.

  • Grief is about holding the paradoxes of being death focused and life focused at the same time.
  • Grief is about figuring out who you are in this world since the loss or losses you have
    experienced.
There is no "too long" or "too short" when it comes to grief.  There are many factors that affect an
individual's grief journey and one should not try to conform to someone else's time frame.  Factors that
effect how someone grieves includes:
  • how a person has handle difficult life situations in the past
  • the personality of the person who died
  • the role the deceased held
Few of us are taught how to grieve when we are children.  Most of our lives, we are encouraged to
not grieve, not to feel our feelings of pain, misery, hopelessness, sadness, or heartache.

At Namaste Consulting, we believe that there is a different way to live, a different way of being.  It's
an honor and a risk to love someone and because we make those choices, we take on the almost
guaranteed future of saying goodbye to those we love.
