Be a Confident Certified Grief Coach and Help Transform Someone’s Life Today

How does one move forward in their grief and pain after the life-altering experience of deep loss?

Are you someone working in a helping profession who is passionate about helping your clients find their footing to move forward after experiencing deep loss?

Or have you personally lived the experience of creating a meaningful life after your deep loss and now you want to provide support to others?

Are you interested in expanding your confidence and up-leveling your skills to help people who are struggling after loss to find peace, purpose and even joy within their grief?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions….

Then you most likely “get it”,

You understand the challenges and the work it takes for someone who is grieving deeply to move forward within their grief.

Grief is not something we really like to talk about but the reality is –  we are all going to experience a deep loss in our lives at one time or another.

In fact…

Millions of people throughout the world are grieving and struggling with the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges that come from experiencing a deep loss.

Yet despite grief being a common experience among all of us – it remains one of life’s biggest challenges…

Grief and grieving can still be deeply misunderstood—especially in societies where grief is not allowed the time to be given its due process.

And while we know we can’t avoid the trauma that comes with it, we know that providing access to compassionate experts and sharing proven strategies to process grief can help individuals, families and communities find healing within their grief.

Unfortunately, there can be an ENORMOUS GAP between wanting to support individuals and families who are grieving after a deep loss

AND

knowing how to provide support through proven methods that can create positive change in a griever’s emotional and physical well-being…

"If we don’t help the grieving process and understand their grief through effective coaching strategies, they might suffer from what I call “FAILED GRIEF”." ~Pat Sheveland

Failed grief is something I’ve witnessed in my own life.

I used to live in a home where my deceased brother’s memory was never spoken of or acknowledged…

…and it ultimately led to a home that was oftentimes shrouded in an air of unspoken sadness, anger, worry and feelings of abandonment – but no one recognized that this was buried grief that had never been given the time or attention to help my parents find some healing in their deep grief.

I venture a guess that this may have been your experience  and I know for a fact that it has been the case for the majority of my clients.

There is a lot more grief and silent suffering in this world that is left unacknowledged and unaddressed and if we don’t do something about this now, we deprive many families of the chance to live with peace, purpose and happiness.

I believe you are here because you have the heart, passion and willingness to help families move from simply surviving to actually thriving in their lives.

That’s why I want to offer you a proven coaching model that will not only fully equip you to become a certified grief coach…

But also help you  gain complete CONFIDENCE in supporting those who are grieving.
