Grief Coaching centers on providing specialized support to those affected by the death of a loved one or other significant loss. While counseling delves deeply into past experiences, coaching in general, is more action oriented and forward focused. Grief coaching is a nurturing partnership that includes “grief work” to positively impact the future. With the coach’s encouragement, this work involves intentional decisions on the part of the griever to walk into the reality of the loss, process emotions, and begin to live out a “new normal.”
