Grief Educator Certification

Help Others Navigate the Rocky Terrain of Grief


Be a Grief Educator

You’re Here for a Reason

You know the heartbreak of loss. You've experienced or seen in your clients that grief and trauma can break our hearts, obscure hope, and wreak havoc on lives.

You know that there is no magical solution to just "get over" or "move on” grief. And yet, you've also experienced that we're more resilient than we ever imagined. You've seen that - in time and with help - we grow around our painful wounds and we can experience the sweetness of peace, and remember with more love than pain.

Perhaps you wish there had been someone there to take your hand and guide you through the worst days. Or maybe something inside of you is whispering that you would like to help others find peace. Perhaps you would like to have even more tools and techniques to share with your clients or even those who come to you as a friend, seeking hope.

Together, we can make a powerful difference. For those in their darkest days, we can shine a light and point the way towards healing.
