you don't have to figure it out on your own!
I know how challenging the grief journey can be because deep grief is part of my story, too.
It can be so challenging to manage the jumble of thoughts and emotions that can keep us spinning after loss. Thoughts about what we could have done differently, thoughts about God and His goodness, thoughts about the ways others are showing up for us in our pain. I can help you navigate these troubling thoughts and give you practical tools to find peace in your mind and heart.
Here are some resources you might find helpful
"If you struggle with sharing your grief in child loss like I do, Eileen offers a compassionate ear, ready to listen or just be with you as you engage in your own grieving journey. She truly is present in the pain, without any agenda. I found her accompaniment extremely helpful after my last miscarriage where I was not yet ready to open up in a small group setting."

"I had never considered using art to process my emotions...and it was a relief to slow down my need for words. Creating mini representations of my circumstances, feelings, and relationship to God helped me identify myself differently and more clearly."
"After I lost my son, I knew that getting pregnant again would be an important part of the healing process. However, what I did not realize was how stressful pregnancy after loss can be. I was filled with so many emotions (grief, fear and even a little bit of hope). I knew God was not responsible for my loss, but my trust in Him was weak. I needed someone to turn to who would understand what I was going through as well as guide me in my Catholic faith. Drawing on her personal experience, knowledge of the Catholic faith and expertise in coaching, Eileen was the perfect person to assist me in this. Eileen and I worked together one on one for several weeks in the middle of my pregnancy. During this time, I not only felt reassured that what I was feeling was “normal,” but I learned to trust God a little more and surrender my pregnancy to Him. Thank you Eileen. I could not have done this without you!"

"It was so amazing. I am not artistic at all, but just sitting with Jesus guiding my hand was so powerful. Sitting there with a pencil allowed me to see in a different way. Maybe this is a part of my prayer life I am missing. I can't thank you enough."
