I’m Joy. I guide people who are grieving through the roller coaster of thoughts and feelings following a significant personal loss . 

Grief is the price of love. It is the natural expression of sadness for the loss of someone or something you love. If you didn’t love deeply, you wouldn’t grieve deeply. 

Grief and suffering are not the same, they do not go hand-in-hand. You suffer when you resist feeling the ache and tenderness of your loss and get caught up in persistent painful should’ve, could’ve, would’ve loops of thought.

I combine professional training and my own experiences with death and loss, including the suicide of a spouse and the death of my parents, to guide and support you in this journey of self-discovery.
