A grief coach is a safe person who offers deep listening to help people release painful emotions when they have lost those they love. A coach partners with clients as they process their grief and find healthy ways to live with their losses. Grieving people are not broken and need fixing; they need compassionate care and safety to feel, say, or do without judgment, shame, self-editing, or masking.

Counselors and coaches each have their place in helping others grow and get unstuck in life. If a person is dealing with mental illness or complicated grief, a counselor is the person to see. However, the coaching point-of-view sees grief as a normal life process, and for a large portion of the population, this ordinary journey does not need a diagnosis. Instead, it requires a person to come alongside and be present with the client as they process their grief. Find a chart of differences here.

Grief coaching can offer you a sacred space to empty the mournful feelings that are bottled up inside. You can discover how normal, common symptoms disrupt your daily activities. Grief coaching provides safe outlets for your unnamed fears, guilt, anger, and betrayal. Working with a coach gives you an accountability partner and cheerleader, giving necessary social support and increasing grief resiliency.
