Walking through grief
No one should have to walk through grief alone
Alongside Loss offers compassionate, evidence-informed grief support to help you navigate loss with hope and courage.
We'll create a confidential space where you can speak freely, even about the thoughts and emotions that feel difficult or unexpected.
Healing doesn't mean forgetting. It means learning to carry love and loss simultaneously. Together, we will help you make meaning of your experience and take the next step forward.
Exploring this together
Our approach combines education, reflective conversation, and practical tools to help you better understand your grief.
There is no single way to grieve, and no timeline you need to follow. Together we’ll explore your unique experience, gently identify where you may feel stuck, and find helpful tools and perspectives.
-
A free 20-minute initial consultation to assess fit.
Virtual, one-on-one 50-minute sessions.
A compassionate space to share your story, ask questions, and make sense of your experience.
Grief education to help you better understand your experience.
We’ll start with a series of three sessions tailored to your needs.
-
How you’re walking through grief, including what you’ve experienced, what you’ve been taught, and how you currently understand it. Beliefs and myths about grief that may no longer serve you.
What is realistic to expect from yourself while grieving.
Places where you may feel stuck in your grief journey.
The people in your life with whom it is safe to grieve.
Grief models that can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
How to move toward the outcomes that matter to you.
-
A deeper understanding of your grief and what’s ahead.
Greater assurance navigating difficult moments.
Practical tools that you can use between sessions.
Permission to grieve in your own way.
A renewed sense of hope for the future.
If you’re wondering whether this approach is right for you, I’d be honoured to connect, answer your questions and explore whether we might be a good fit.
“Kati’s support and suggestions help grievers to deal with the range of feelings, thoughts and emotions common to grief such as shock, numbness, anger, guilt, and loneliness. Kati’s work produces tangible results as she teaches people about grief and how to integrate loss into their lives. Without reservation, I recommend Kati as someone to walk through your grief with.”

Grief support can help at every stage and can take many forms
Whether your loss is recent or decades in the past, your grief deserves care and attention.
Along with professional support, I would encourage you to:
Read trusted grief resources
How to Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies — Therese A. Rando
Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief — David Kessler
Grief One Day at a Time — Alan D. Wolfelt
Find someone who can simply listen
Look for someone who won't rush your grief, explain it away, or try to fix what you're feeling and thinking.
Being heard is more healing than being given advice.
Care for yourself with compassion
Grief affects your mind and body.
Rest when you're able. Eat what you can. Accept help when it's offered. Return to the routines, places and quiet moments that have brought you peace before.
Above all, be patient with yourself. If you feel ready to connect with personal grief support, I'd be honoured to walk alongside you as you take your next steps.
