Certified Grief, Personal & Executive Coach

Jessica Kwan

Grief is not something to be conquered, mended, or vanquished. It is a natural human response to severance - the loss of a beloved (human or pet), a relationship’s dissolution, collective trauma, or even the fading of a cherished aspiration. It is different for everyone, even within groups of similar types of loss.Know that there's no prescribed trajectory for grief; the reality is that there’s a deeper narrative unfolding, and many of us have absorbed inaccurate, even harmful, narratives about grief.Having carried the weight of losses on my own journey, I understand with clarity the insidious nature of pervasive myths surrounding loss and death. Part of my coaching philosophy directly confronts these misconceptions and unhelpful fallacies, building my clients' capacity to forge a healthier relationship with their grief.

Anticipatory grief is the sorrow experienced prior to a loss, often in situations involving terminal illness, debilitating conditions, or other foreseeable departures. It can be a labyrinthine and demanding experience, yet it can also be a period of preparation, deep connection, and meaning-making.Post-loss is the sorrow experienced after a loss has transpired. Like an earthquake, it leaves you in an environment that’s somewhat familiar to you, but at the same time it’s irrevocably changed. It's a journey that unfolds over time and encompasses a constellation of emotions, sensations, reactions, and experiences.Becoming a confident grief ally: the primary goal is to equip individuals, personally or professionally, with the knowledge, skills, and empathy necessary to effectively support those experiencing grief and loss in various contexts.
