“Loss is inevitable.
Think of losses involved in living with a chronic condition, the breakup of a relationship, or the death of a dream.

Many living losses are mourned in the same way as losses involving death
and  [can be] easier to face with the help of a grief coach.”

– Dr. Don Eisenhauer

Resilient-Parenting Coaching

Parenting can be challenging when grieving the loss of a spouse because stress can make it difficult to focus on others

  • Surviving parents and caregivers are the most powerful resource for helping bereaved children to cope with the loss of their parent.
  • Research has shown that resilience in caregivers and children can be promoted by:
    • teaching practical tools to build family bonds and for self-care
    • develop five key building blocks of resilience in the family (which leads to long-term positive development for children)

Benefits for children, adolescents and adults:

  • Lower levels of distressing grief
  • Lower levels of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts/attempts
  • Lower use of mental health services and psychiatric medication
  • Higher levels of self-esteem

Soothe Your Grief From…

"It was amazing for my family, working with Santou. I was stunned at how much family therapy helped us deal with our losses. Santou is trustworthy and sincere. She was able to teach us how to manage our emotions in a creative way. She always made useful, thoughtful suggestions. My family and I really benefited from her expertise and it helped us to see things from a different perspective. I think we will always make use of what we learnt together".
