In this film I talk viewers through the pain of processing grief, change and the unexpected transformations that we do not invite into our lives. Drawing upon my own experience, coupled with the time-proven model of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and her 'Bereavement Curve', I walk you through the seven stages that I use with my clients to help them navigate this painful life chapter.
Sadly, there is nothing more inevitable than the need for us to confront the various forms of loss in our lives. Be that the death of a loved-one, job-loss, divorce or any experience where an life ingredient, factor or thing that we hold dear, is torn from us. Society often discourages us from processing our emotions through the natural reflex of anger. Yet, I have discovered through bitter personal experience the professional insight borne-out of helping myself and many thousands of clients navigate grief, I have found that many answers can be found in the darkness of bereavement and it's our anger that shines the light. *Obviously, the health-warning on this guidance is not through external explosive episodes of grief. But through the introspection of listening to and analysing what it is that sparks our emotions. In this way, we have the option of leveraging our grief. Although confronting our grief is inarguably one of the single most challenging experiences we will ever face on our journey through this life.
