Grief Intensive: Two Weekends to Do the Work
Grief doesn’t follow a weekly schedule — and neither does life.
This Grief Intensive is designed for working professionals, parents, and caregivers who want meaningful grief support but cannot commit to traditional weekly therapy. Over the course of two weekends (12 total hours), we create focused space to gently and intentionally address grief in a way that feels both supportive and productive.
This format allows you to do a bulk of the emotional work in a short, contained time, rather than stretching it out over months. Many clients appreciate the momentum, depth, and relief that comes from this immersive approach.
Who This Is For
This intensive may be a good fit if you:
- Have experienced a significant loss and feel “stuck” or emotionally overwhelmed
- Are functioning on the outside but struggling internally
- Can’t take time off work for weekly therapy
- Are a parent with limited childcare during the week
- Want dedicated time to focus on grief without constant interruption
- Prefer an intentional, structured approach to healing
What We’ll Work On Together
This is not surface-level grief work. Topics may include:
- Common myths of grief and why they keep us stuck
- The ways we pretend we’re “okay” — and the cost of that
- How grief lives in the body, not just the mind
- Exploring your personal history of loss
- A deep dive into your most significant or unresolved loss
- Identifying recovery components
- Creating a meaningful culmination letter to integrate the work
All work is paced with care, safety, and flexibility.
