Grief & Loss
There is no timeline for grief.
Let's walk your path together.
A Space for all That Grief Holds
Have you lost someone—or something—you love, and need a safe, non-judgmental space to process your pain?
Maybe friends or family are worried that you're not "over it" yet. (Maybe you worry about that too.)
Grief can follow a death—but it can also show up after the loss of a relationship, a job, a belief system, or a version of yourself.
Whatever your loss, I'll hold space for your grief and every emotion that comes with it.
We live in a grief-avoidant culture that pushes us to move on. Here, you can pause.
You won't hear platitudes or quick fixes. I'll meet you right where you are and help you take care of yourself at your own pace.
What We'll Explore
The difference between moving forward and moving on
How grief and love are two sides of the same coin
What's helping—and what's not—so you can set boundaries with well-meaning others
How to communicate your needs with clarity and kindness
There are no stages you're required to "complete."
Grief isn't linear—it loops, surprises, and evolves.
Together, we'll honor the full spectrum: sorrow, joy, numbness, laughter, and everything between.
A Message From Nina About Grief
"Pain and joy can comfortably sit alongside one another; it is only the world that tells us we must 'get over the pain' to feel happiness."
— Zoe Clark-Coates
I hold a Certificate in Professional Grief Care through psychotherapist and grief advocate Megan Devine, author of It's OK That You're Not OK.
