The Definition
Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind.
Beginning in early childhood and throughout our lives we have all
been confronted, frequently, unexpectedly, with significant personal
losses such as death and divorce. The list, among many others,
includes trauma; moving; job termination; miscarriage; retirement;
death of a pet; financial and health issues; and addiction
withdrawal.
Grief can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Intense sadness,
guilt, anger, physical discomfort, sleeplessness, or an inability to
concentrate or make decisions. These are just a few examples of the
symptoms people may experience.
Since every person is unique, every person will experience grief in
their own individual and unique way.
The Problem
While grief is normal and natural, much of the information passed on
within our society about dealing with grief is not helpful. Grief is
the emotional response to loss, but most of the information we have
learned about dealing with loss is intellectual.
The majority of “incorrect ideas” about dealing with loss can be
summed up in six easily recognizable myths. However, most people
have never questioned their validity.
Six Myths
» Time Heals All Wounds
» Grieve Alone
» Be Strong
» Don’t Feel Bad
» Replace the Loss
» Keep Busy
The Solution
The Moving Beyond Loss Program offers you a time proven, safe, loving
and professionally guided environment in which you will have the
opportunity to identify all the losses that have affected your life
from the most recent to your distant past, openly express your
deepest feelings surrounding your loss (es) and then move forward
with an action plan leading to the completion of the pain and grief
you have been carrying. No one will judge you.
If you have experienced a loss and wish to move beyond your grief,
participation in this program offers you the chance for a richer and
more fulfilling life. The tools that you learn and the internal
shift you experience will help you make the most of your
relationships with others and prevent future losses from being as
devastating.
THE DECISION IS YOURS.
What participants have said about the Moving Beyond Loss Workshop
“I went to the workshop not knowing all of the faces of grief. What
I learned was grief has many faces and held me back from moving
forward into greatness. This workshop gave my grief a voice and
allowed me to release my pain in a safe and nurturing environment.
Since the workshop many things have unfolded for me because of the
work and healing that occurred in the Moving Beyond Loss workshop.
Thank you.”
~ Rhonda S. NC
“I have been facilitating groups and guiding workshops for many
years as well as doing my own personal work. Coming to closure with
the grief of my past has allowed me to embrace my future with a
grounded sense of joy and adventure. My dreams are much closer and
real to me today.”
~ Paul F. WV
Who could have known I was carrying such a burden? I didn't. This
workshop helped me to clearly see the loss I had experienced in my
life. I had not acknowledged many of those losses or grieved them.
To do this and then be guided toward releasing was tremendously
freeing. I left the workshop feeling "lighter" than I could remember
being. I would highly recommend Teresita's workshop, as I see that
everyone would benefit from the experience in some way. It was
amazing.
~Colleen G. VA
“I loved our work together and I have felt changes in my life.
Teresita is a phenomenal teacher and facilitator. I have taught and
facilitated for over 30 years and I know that Teresita is one of the
best! She is perceptive and intuitive and has the keen ability of
being able to read and touch hearts! I was so impressed and so
grateful. The Moving Beyond Loss helped me to release grief and
sadness and I will be forever appreciative (and telling all of my
friends)! May the Universe continue to bless you and support you in
this incredibly important work.”
~ Robyn H, Virginia
"I had a profound and liberating experience working on the grieving
process with Teresita. Her capable and kindly guidance enabled me to
finally cope with two losses that have haunted me for many years.
During our time together I released some disabling emotional
baggage, and acquired the tools I need to continue healing. I am now
more at peace than I would have thought possible."
~ S.C., Virginia
