Navigating Loss and Grief: Finding Light in the Shadows with Well Coached Life
Grief is a journey that often feels like a never-ending labyrinth, especially when we've experienced the heart-wrenching loss of a loved one. At Well Coached Life, we understand that the pain of loss can be an ongoing battle, and we're here to offer support and guidance to help you find your way through the darkness.
The Weight of Memories:
When we lose someone dear to us, the calendar transforms. Dates that once held anticipation and joy become painful reminders of our profound loss. Life's milestones and anniversaries, which were once celebrations, can become days we dread. On these occasions, the wound of loss, which we've painstakingly worked to heal, can re-open, thrusting us back into a whirlwind of memories and haunting "what ifs."
From Dull Ache to Searing Pain:
The dull ache of grief and sadness, which we've learned to carry with us, can suddenly transform into a searing, sharp pain. It's as if we're transported back to the very moment when we first received that devastating news. We find ourselves at the bottom of that cold, dark hole we've so painstakingly clawed our way out of, inch by inch.
Our Compassionate Support:
At Well Coached Life, we're here to remind you that healing is not a linear process. Grief has no set timeline, and it's okay to experience those moments of intense sorrow. Our experienced coaches provide a safe space for you to share your emotions, explore your memories, and find the strength to move forward.
A Personalized Journey:
We recognize that each person's grief journey is unique, and the pain of loss is deeply personal. Our coaching services are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the support and strategies that resonate with your experiences.
Rediscover Light in the Shadows:
Grief may change the way we experience life's milestones, but it doesn't have to define our future. With Well Coached Life, you can embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and finding meaning in the midst of loss. Join us today, and together, we'll help you find the light in the shadows of grief.

Grief counseling , also known as bereavement therapy, is a form of therapy intended to help you cope with loss, like the death of a partner, family member, friend, colleague, career, position or pet. The death of a loved one can cause both emotional and physical pain that can sometimes impair your ability to function.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In facing the profound journey through loss and grief, I provide a compassionate and understanding presence, recognizing the uniqueness of each person's experience. Integrating holistic strategies such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness practices, I gently guide clients towards healing. This multifaceted approach supports individuals in processing their emotions, finding peace, and gradually rebuilding their lives. Emphasizing the importance of self-care and gentle self-awareness, I aim to offer a space where feelings of loss can be expressed freely, fostering a path to recovery that honors personal timelines and resilience. Together, we explore coping strategies and tools that not only help in navigating the complexities of grief but also in rediscovering strength and hope. For those walking the path of loss, I am here to support you with empathy and understanding, helping you to move forward with grace and dignity.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day?
Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Loss or Grief
Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
When the unexpected happens, it’s a shock to the system. When you experience an abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth, feelings of guilt, shame, rage (or even secret relief) may be present. Maybe you’re reeling from a pregnancy loss and don’t understand why it’s hitting you so hard. Not only are you processing the loss of your fetus or infant, but you’re also grieving the loss of a future you thought you’d have as a parent of this child.
Grief can be all-consuming, non-linear, and isolating. Others may not understand what you’re going through, but processing this unimaginable experience with a caring professional can help. Together, we’ll tend to your pain, grieve your loss, develop realistic coping tools for the present, and integrate the experience into your motherhood narrative.

Loss or Grief
Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
While the loss of loved ones is a natural and normal part of life, loss that is unexpected, untimely, accidental, or drawn out, may lead to trauma for those left behind. The grief associated with such trauma can be debilitating and, perhaps even more challenging, isolating. Such grief can also have a cascading effect, leading to deeper depression, anxiety, fear, and maladaptive behaviors to address these overwhelming emotions. While grieving is natural and must run its course, I believe strongly that any loss can be helped through exploration of the corresponding emotions and behaviors with an objective and trusted therapist.
My approach to grief and loss is anchored in my own experience. Having lost most of my family over a very brief window of time, I know well the many emotions that accompany such unexpected and sudden loss. My treatment approach is a merger of my clinical skill set with a deeply empathetic ear, anchored in the coping mechanisms I personally deployed to help manage the many transitions through my own grief. In my work with my patients around loss and grief, I focus on navigating the negative emotions that can accompany loss (guilt, anger, hopelessness, overwhelming sadness) while, over time and when appropriate, jointly crafting with my patients a narrative that celebrates the life of those that have moved on, and facilitates the release of those emotions that can keep patients “stuck” in the trauma of unexpected loss.

Experiencing a major loss and the grief that follows can make us feel unmoored and overwhelmed, stranded someplace between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to gently and compassionately explore what lays inside these vulnerable periods of transition, including the potential for growth and evolution.
