Welcome Lovers…

You’re here because you’ve lost or are in the process of losing someone or something you love deeply. I’m so sorry you need my help.

Your world as you knew it has just been shattered by grief and loss and you may be seeking support. You need a seasoned guide, or one who has walked before you on this grief path. I’m just that. I companion others in grief because I have lived with my own deep loss. In 2012 my partner crashed on his mountain bike, broke his neck and became a quadriplegic. Our world went upside down and it has never been the same since. Along the way I paid attention so that I could bring you the best grief support possible.

And while my grief is not a death loss, I do know the grief process intimately.

Grief is much more than death loss. You may be feeling grief now because of what’s been happening in the world for the past few years. You may be having huge amounts of earth grief as we deal with the current challenges of this living planet. You may be dealing with a break up or a divorce. You may have lost your job or financial security, you may be having to juggle a job with suddenly being a homeschool parent. 

I’m here as a grief guide and grief friend. My passion is to help you navigate this bizarre territory called grief so you can access for more joy and life energy. I want to help you find your way to grief relief. 

In Scandanavia, the land of my ancestors, when someone was grieving, they’d invite them to sit at the center of the longhouse next to the fire for a year. The community would feed and hydrate them, and make sure they were warm. They were keenly aware that this grieving person was undergoing an initiation and they needed time and space away from daily duties to simply be with and begin to grok their losses. If I could, I would love to invite you to come sit by the fire with me and just let me tend to you. Let me bear witness to you and hold you and your story.

So welcome lover…take a look around my website and see what makes sense for you. I invite you to schedule a 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit for each other. 

I also offer grief support for therapists and wellness practitioners with an online group called Tending the Tenders. My next group begins sometime fall of 2024. 

NEW! I am doing a beta group called The Wheel of Grief starting May 22, 2024. We will meet for 4 weeks online and then gather in person to do ceremony in Boulder, Colorado. We will also meet online if you aren’t local. It’s a new way of keeping grief moving using my most popular tool called the Ripples of Loss (developed by Cath Duncan). I’ve combined it the shamanic work I’ve been doing with a few practitioners. It brings in the support of the elements of wisdom world traditions. Send me an email if you’d like to be on the waitlist for this program. It won’t be offered at this low of a price again, it’s $175! (It’s a beta group). I’m very excited to share this work with you!

I’m offering more grief groups through ritual and ceremony. We are planning a grief ritual right now on the land in Paonia, Colorado sometime this fall. I also offer consultations for your and your community if you would like to hold a ritual or ceremony but aren’t sure how to do that.   

Thanks for being here and trying to understand what’s happening to you and many others at this time. We cannot do this alone.

Many blessings to you! 

Beth, your friend in grief
