Grief Expression Advocacy Services
Paulette Kranjac can work as an advocate to you in expressing your grief. Paulette listens as you express your sadness and grave upset. She will hear your concerns, worries and fears. And she will be listening for the thoughts, feelings and the nuances of the words you use when you share about your loved one who died.
Many people are not just sad. They feel stuck and every day they tell themselves a few or one particular thing about the death of their loved one. Sometimes it is what they think they could have done or said to not have that happen...or what they could have done or said. Human beings often feel like they are on a hamster wheel of sorts going over and over the same issue again and again every day which does not resolve itself. I work with people to acknowledge all of this, and it actually frees people up from being stuck from grief.
Personally, I have lost many relatives throughout my 50’s and 60’s and have done my own personal and professional work on grief. I have discovered how to listen and how to help people to get ‘unstuck’ so that they can just be with pure sadness.
My work has helped people experience freedom from anger, from guilt and in some cases, it has prevented depression. A persons’ viewpoint about the death of their loved one, is uniquely theirs and the goal of the expression of grief is to get past the viewpoint by articulating it and really owning it as a viewpoint which is different from the truth…this can lead people to the pure sadness which is natural and beneficial to experience when someone we love dies.
Giving up anger, blame, shame, guilt, etc. and just being sad…can facilitate dreams about a new future. And then people can take actions to make those dreams come true.
