Guiding you through grief, in a way that works for you.

Are you…

In shock from a devastating diagnosis or the death of loved one?

Trying to stay “strong” for others and feel alone in your grief?

Needing to have difficult conversations with someone dying?

Feeling overwhelmed with emotional suffering from loss?

I am here to help.

If you’ve ever wondered if there was someone…

Who could provide you a safe, non-judgmental space to breathe so you can work through your grief in your own way, on your own terms…

  • Not to diagnosis and psychoanalyze, but to support you with guidance during your or your loved one’s terminal illness, death, funeral, death anniversaries, holidays, and life milestones through grief exercises and discussions

  • Who can help you navigate difficult conversations that need to take place

  • That can be on-site at your home or a facility so you don’t have to walk through the experience alone

  • Who is not a psychologist, but a counselor and guide that is formally educated in death, dying, and bereavement, has worked with dying patients and families, and has her own experiences she draws from

  • Who can work with you to process the pain of grief and possibly create meaning and purpose because of it

There is. And you’ve found her.

What is a Grief Guide?

Grief is an innate part of the human experience, yet it can be isolating and surreal.

No one else can know exactly what you are going through which means there isn’t a one-size-fits all approach to how to work through it.

For some, professional medical attention and/or therapy is most beneficial, but for others, this may not be desired or necessary.

Rather, someone in-between a professional therapist and a helpful friend who is educated in the death and dying field that can guide you through trauma and grief may be the answer.

Meet Kristy Chenell, Your Personal Grief Guide

Reactions are so fascinating when it comes to describing what I do. Why would I want to study, research, and work in the field of death, dying, and bereavement? Isn’t it morbid and depressing?

Well…quite the opposite, actually.

As with many of us, who we become is a result of what we’ve experienced, and I am no different.
