Ceremonies for the Moments That Change Us

After experiencing several losses in a short period of time, I started asking questions that few people seemed willing to talk about. Not just how grief hurts, but how it changes us.

That search led me to ceremony. Ancient practices that gave grief somewhere to go, that gave loss the weight it deserved, and that gave me a way back to myself.

Sometimes we don't need more advice. We need to be witnessed. We need a way to honor what has happened and who we are becoming because of it.

“Sophia is a kind, cheerful and understanding person, which makes very easy to share with her any doubt or worry that you may have. How many times have you began a sentence saying “You’re gonna think that I’m crazy, but...” when you share your concerns with other people? This doesn’t happen at any time with Sophia, everything flows easy with her, and she is very warm and has a great sense of humor. Many things about me that I didn’t understand before now make total sense. She has been a great help and I won’t hesitate to ask her for guidance again”

The Book Nobody Wrote About Grief. Until Now.

Because sometimes grief feels less like sadness and more like waking up in a life you don't recognize.
