GRIEF SUPPORT

“True comfort in grief is in acknowledging the pain, not in trying to make it go away. Companionship, not correction, is the way forward.” 

Megan Devine

I am terribly sorry about the circumstances that have brought you here…

… and I am truly honored that you found your way to The Solace Space. 

I am a Certified Grief Educator and my grief support services are designed to provide a safe space for you to show up exactly as you are and to share, to be seen, to witness, and to connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through.

Grief Support with Kate 

We live in a culture that is wildly uncomfortable with witnessing “negative” emotions. We have toxic positivity up the wazoo, and meaningless platitudes (like “everything happens for a reason” or “they wouldn’t want you to be sad”) that only serve to make people in pain feel shut down and more isolated. 

My approach when it comes to grief support is providing a space for you to feel seen and heard. It is so simple, yet so powerful. I believe that being witnessed in grief, without anyone trying to “fix it” or put a stop to it, is deeply healing. Being present with the pain is actually the magic that allows us, slowly, to tend to our pain and find the way forward. 

I offer grief support groups, as well as one-on-one private support.

***Please remember that I am a Certified Grief Educator, not a licensed psychologist/ therapist or coach! As a Certified Grief Educator, I am here to provide peer-to-peer support as you work through your grief and access your inner wisdom.

“Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn’t mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.”

-David Kessler

Testimonials

  • Kate is sincere, warm, accessible, and so open. She holds space for so many feelings and personalities with her whole heart. I think this was a lifesaver for me — this act (in the same way love isn't just a feeling but something you do) of listening to everyone talk about their grief without holding back — a space where we could all say the things we can't say anywhere else and be whoever it is we are now, messy, fragmented, unmasked. This profound sense of community that Kate created got me through the holidays. I will carry it with me always.

  • This group was such a support during an incredibly difficult time. I enjoyed that everyone was from different walks of life and on their own grief journey. Kate, you created a loving, open and tender place for us to be authentic and find solace within community. So so very grateful.

    Kelsey

  • This is the first full year since my dad died and I knew the holidays were going to be tough, but I didn't know quite how tough it would be. Being a part of this grief support space felt like a warm hug in the moments I needed it most. And being a facilitator myself it can be hard for me to let myself go and be held in spaces like this; but with Kate I immediately felt at ease. She held this space with such strength and vulnerability that I felt safe. So grateful to have had this container as it provided my heart a sweetness navigating through the holidays.

    Amani

  • Being a part of this group helped remind me that not only was I not alone in my struggle, but that there is comfort in being with others who are also not only dealing with grief but who are open to acknowledging and examining the journey.

what is grief?

Grief is our response to loss, and while we often associate it with the passing of a loved one, it extends far beyond that. 

Grief can arise from any experience that disrupts our sense of normalcy or identity, including the loss of meaningful connections in our lives. 

You may grieve the loss of:

🤍a beloved friend, family member, partner, or pet

🤍a marriage, friendship, or deep bond

🤍a home, neighborhood, or community

🤍a job or career path

🤍financial stability or security

🤍a long-held dream or goal

🤍good health

🤍youthfulness or vitality

🤍fertility or parenthood expectations

🤍…and more!

No matter what kind of loss you are facing, please remember:

You are not alone! 

And you are welcome here!
