 “I already feel a lot more positive and prepared for the next announcement.”

My person died. Now what? 

Losing a loved one can leave someone feeling lost, unmotivated and overwhelmed. It’s hard to know exactly where to start.

Help them navigate this path forward with a 1:1, 45 minute private coaching session with Emily Bingham.

Emily is a grief coach, fitness professional, mother of two, and widow as of March 2019 when her husband passed away from cancer. She's found meaning in my loss by helping others heal. 

Here's what people are saying:

“After my loss it felt hard to relate to others and express my feelings. Emily provides a safe environment to process and work through all the emotions that come from loss and grief with a community that understands. I have never left a counseling session feeling that good!”

“moveTHRU is the safe place that I’ve been looking for ever since I lost my first loved one. It is an environment that is welcoming to all emotions, to all types of people, and to all types of loss experiences. There was no “barrier to entry” or uncomfortable feeling upon joining; instead there was an immediate sense of inclusion and support from the community members. After losing multiple loved ones in my life, it ironically feels “good” to have found others that understand the pain, sadness and anger that reside with the journey of grief.”

How do I support my child? How do I tell them what happened? A child's grief experience is very complex and differs dependent on developmental level, age, and relationship to the person who died. Parents often need support with knowing what their child is able to understand about death and dying, what to expect from their child as they grieve, and how to support their children through the acute phase of grief and as they grow.

This is a 45 minute phone session for parents to speak with a mental health provider from Hearts Connected, an organization connecting children and families to child life support services nationwide. All practitioners have extensive experience and expertise supporting children 0-21 with grief and loss.

Every session is tailored to the individual needs of the child and parent. A phone session may involve educating a parent about children's grief responses and red flags to be aware of, ways to assess and support their child's grief, supporting a parent emotionally with the daunting task of parenting while grieving themselves, or finding the language to tell their child about the death that happened.

Parents will also be provided access to a private Facebook group including support, resources, research, and education for parents surrounding children's grief.

Does my child understand? I wonder what they are thinking and feeling. A child's grief experience is very complex and differs dependent on developmental level, age, and relationship to the person who died.

This is a 1:1 45 minute video session for children 4 and above to meet with a mental health provider from Hearts Connected, an organization connecting children and families to child life support services nationwide.

Parents will also be provided access to a private Facebook group including support, resources, research, and education for parents surrounding children's grief.
