The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Your "Why" After Suicide Loss; The How & Why to find IT!


Listen Later

What is my WHY??? Such a complicated topic, right? Well … yes and no, BUT definitely a relevant & essential one for grievers.  So much changes after suicide loss and nearly everyone who experiences it finds themselves reevaluating and needing to re-tool, or re-build, some (or all) of life as they knew it. Finding, or 're-finding', what our "WHY" is after suicide loss (of a child) is necessary to actually being able to move forward, in my opinion. And it takes time, and choice, and hard work, to actually get to it -- and then be able to live your WHY! AND BELIEVE ME ...it is worth the work!!

ANNOUNCMENT TIME (because I do announce it in this episode!!) ---->

IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS my (in progress) website "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" will be LIVE and that means my first coaching options will be available. The first (3 month) group is planned to begin Sept 15 OR maybe Oct 1, so stay tuned and then there will be a new group start every 3 months.  There WILL be limited spots in each group so let me know if you want on the notify list! These groups will be one part community, one part discovery/growth. I believe these two things are intertwined for us in the earlier stages of grief especially. 

This coaching has been a long time in coming grievers.  I knew, in my heart,  that this was my WHY about a year and a half ago … then I set out on the next stage of my healing/learning journey. I am so, so ready to be able to serve this community in an expanded capacity. I have gained a lot through my lived experiences, but also through my certifications (with more to come). Please DM me on Instagram or email me at anytime [email protected]

The website will be at www.theleftoverpieces.com  (naturally, right?) 
Keep an eye out - even book mark it & check back in a few weeks (there IS a holding page with "coming soon" there now) !!
