Something in your life has shifted.

A loss, a divorce, a job that disappeared, a move that left you feeling like a stranger in your own life.

Whatever it is, there’s a way through.

Loss shows up in more ways than we’re taught to expect.

  • Grief
  • A divorce
  • A job that ends
  • A diagnosis

A move that leaves you feeling unrecognizable in your own life. 

However it found you, you don’t have to walk through it alone.

Grief doesn’t teach you how to grieve. In fact, we can often find ourselves stuck in grief for months—even years.

Grief needs a guide and a strategy. A grief coach creates a space for true listening and offers intuitive support to help pave the way for acceptance in grief.

Learning to cope with loss and grief

This is not a future goal.
It is something to experience now.

THE DISRUPTION

Something happened that knocked you off the path you were on. A loss, a diagnosis, a divorce, a move, an ending you didn't choose. Whatever it was, you're not who you were before it.

THE WORK

You don't have to carry this alone or figure it out by yourself. We build a path around your story, your history with loss, and where you actually are right now.

THE WAY FORWARD

Moving forward isn't about forgetting what happened. It's about finding your footing again, one step at a time, until you're doing instead of just getting through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grief coaching is life coaching specifically focused on grief. It offers a supportive process that helps individuals navigate their feelings of loss and bereavement. Coaches provide guidance, tools, and strategies for coping with grief and finding a path forward. You bring event a small amount of hope and we find a way forward.

While both focus on healing and offer a safe space to process the experience of grief, coaching tends to be more action-oriented. In contrast, therapy often delves deeper into psychological issues, past trauma, and emotional processing.

Anyone experiencing loss, whether it’s the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of health, loss of job, or other significant life changes, can benefit from grief coaching. It’s suitable for individuals looking for support in managing their grief.

Sessions may include discussing your feelings, coping strategies, and practical exercises to help you integrate your grief. The coach will create a safe space for you to express yourself. A main marker of coaching is that the coachee sets the focus and desired outcome for the sessions. 

Many Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) now include coaching as well as counselling, and some specifically mention support for grief, loss and life transitions. EAP sessions are usually free to you but limited to a set number each year, and they’re normally provided through the EAP’s own network of providers. The best way to find out what your plan covers is to call your EAP directly or ask your HR department. Ask them whether coaching is included, how many sessions you get, and whether you can choose your own coach. [Johanna: add your situation here, e.g. “Positive Doing is part of the [EAP provider name] network” or “I’m happy to give you a receipt to submit for reimbursement.”] If your EAP doesn’t cover coaching, a free exploration call is still a good place to start working out what kind of support fits you.

The duration varies based on individual needs. Some may benefit from a few sessions, while others may engage in coaching for 3-6 months.

Coaching works with clients who do not present potentially diagnosable mental health issues, so it is usually a personal investment in one’s growth and development. 

Look for a coach with training, experience, and a style that resonates with you. Schedule an initial call to see if grief coaching is right for you. 

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a professional, whether a coach or therapist. They can provide immediate support and guidance.

Yes, but goals in grief coaching look different. Instead of traditional performance targets, goals center on self-compassion, decision-making clarity, managing energy reserves, and honoring memory through meaningful action.
