How does it work? |
I will contact you weekly via email, for a period of 3 months, to listen to you, encourage you, and learn about other aspects of your life, particularly things that you find enjoyable. I will help you identify tangible barriers in your process of healing, identify support systems and techniques for you to lean on, and help you identify your own inner strength as you find your way through healing. The goal at the end of the 3 months is to affirm to you that you are not alone, and that other parents have come before you on this journey from grief to healing.

Grief is hard work. There are no quick fixes and there are no easy ways out. It takes a great level of commitment to engage in a mentoring relationship. Mentors are not professionals, and are not perfect. Mentors are peers, people who are still working to make sense and make healing out of their own darkest of experiences. Mentors do not have all of the answers. Instead, mentors encourage you to explore your own questions and give you the validation to discover your own unique grief journey, while helping you to discover resources and providing you with resources that may prove useful as your journey to healing begins to reveal itself. |
