Lionheart Grief Coaching

When we believe that “everything happens for a reason” or that someone out in the universe felt it was time for us to learn a lesson, it makes it nearly impossible to accept or process the harder emotions of grief: anguish, anger, powerlessness.

Because we are told and believe we must have done something to deserve what has happened, our right to grieve gets taken away.

But if there wasn’t a reason or a lesson and bad things happen to good people at random, then our hurt is validated. Shedding tears is not only acceptable, but expected. Even though it can be scary to believe there is nothing we can do to prevent death and loss, this awareness gives us the freedom to move through our grief in expressive and healthy ways instead of putting on a false smile and trying to find the lesson in the tragedy.
